Description POSI | Path running north to south. Connects up from river bottom (see TP231). First half of path has natural outcrops of rock along west slope. This changes to what seems to be the remains of some kind of wall-possiblt terraced. Three large boulders at the end of the section with cultural wall (see diagrams). Very clear and stable path covered with moss and pine needles. Path slopes south about 10 degrees (aspect is south). About 80 cm wide, cut into west upslope between 20-30 cm. Wall is quite disturbed, rubble and not very well defined. Appears it was about 12 m long. Eroded downslope and path now crosses through the north north west most point. Combination of 0.5 m diameter boulders and smaller rocks of about 10-15 cm. Follows the contour of the mountain to the west of the path. Most likely to be some kind of retaining wall. |
