| Description POSI | Rock cut shaft with parallel walls perpendicular to face. Approximately 5 m deep at most and 3-4 m at the shallowest point. Floor level is covered in plant matter aand so cannot be identified. A tree is growing in the rear left hand corner of the shaft approximately 2 m from the top. No major features besides the shaft itself could be identified, although the right wall has a large circular dent in it, but this may be the result of natural forces as much as by human agency. Aspect NW. 7 m above the irrigation channel and about 5 m long, 1.1 m wide at the lower end and about 0.8 m at the top. |
