No one said its part of the temple itself, its part of the complex. We know its the wall that surrounded the temple on the mount.

Its the last surviving thing closest to the temple site in position to the Holy of Holies and the site now is where the imperialist and illegitimate death cult dome(literally copied from the ruined Church of the Seat of Mary between Bethlehem and Jerusalem) now sits on top of it. However archaeology from beneath is getting closer and closer and there's technically an even closer position right beneath it now and not too many people are aware of it below ground but there is a stairway that leads below the wall accessible near the square.

Evidence on site clearly shows the temple was above it and the stones found were thrown by Roman soldiers over the walls into the valley below. They even found the untouched half cracked priest stone that had lay there for almost 2000 years undisturbed, its inscriptions still preserved. The Jordanian rats on the other hand have been trying to destroy artifacts and Jewish heritage on that site for a long time, Israeli archaeology teams however intercept the dumpsites and try and salvage what the Jordanians destroy. The uncomfortable reality for them is that the region is ancient Jewish with very strong Roman and Greek presence and it triggers the hell out of them considering the delusional myth they believe in which everyone is a Muslim and Islam was the very first religion.

My ultimate wish is to know what lies beneath the "Well of Souls". Its fully hollow beneath indicating there's a chamber being hidden and the Muslim occupation on the mount refuses to allow work to examine it, even with non intrusive ground penetrating radar.
Imagine if its the Ark of the Covenant or a trove of ancient texts and original copies of the bible or fully intact copies of the Dead Sea Scrolls, it makes the imagination go wild.
