Responsa for Megillah 1:11

אֵין בֵּין שִׁילֹה לִירוּשָׁלַיִם אֶלָּא שֶׁבְּשִׁילֹה אוֹכְלִים קָדָשִׁים קַלִּים וּמַעֲשֵׂר שֵׁנִי בְּכָל הָרוֹאֶה, וּבִירוּשָׁלַיִם לִפְנִים מִן הַחוֹמָה. וְכָאן וְכָאן קָדְשֵׁי קָדָשִׁים נֶאֱכָלִים לִפְנִים מִן הַקְּלָעִים. קְדֻשַּׁת שִׁילֹה יֵשׁ אַחֲרֶיהָ הֶתֵּר, וּקְדֻשַּׁת יְרוּשָׁלַיִם אֵין אַחֲרֶיהָ הֶתֵּר:

There is no difference between (the sanctuary of) Shiloh and Jerusalem, but that in Shiloh lesser-order offerings and ma'aser sheni are eaten wherever [Shiloh] can be seen, and, in Jerusalem, (only) within the wall. And, in both places, holy of holies are eaten (only) within the enclosure (of the sanctuary). The sanctity of Shiloh permits [of bamoth] after it [i.e., after its destruction.] The sanctity of Jerusalem does not permit [of bamoth] after it.
