Description POSI Ancient adit with wide entrance (probably because of collapse). The bedrock platform in the front is preserved and could be the original working surface. Yellow iron oxides line the ceiling. Again the cut is in the contact between conglomerates and pillow lavas. It lies about 10 m north of TP051. Aspect east. Width 2.1 m Height 1.2-1.25 m Depth: 1.5 m
Condition The top of the entrance is visible quite nicely, but a lot of conglomerate rubble has filled in the areas further back.
