Description POSI A horizontal cut into inter pillow lava material. It is 40 cm wide at the opening, 5 cm high and about 20-30 cm deep. No spoil material in front. At northern side it has a vertical cut into the adjacent pillow above and below and inter pillow material continues beyond this cut which leads to the conclusion that it is anthropogenic. Given the small volume it is interpreted as a prospection cut
