In the sentence:

"Colosse has never been either rebuilt or excavated, unlike its neighbor
Laodicea, about eleven miles away."

What kind of phrase is "about eleven miles away"?  I realize it is
performing an adverbial function, but what is the head word of the phrase?

Thanks in advance for your advice.
