| Description POSI | Small platform with dry stone retaining wall packed behind with cobble and pebble sized stones. Wall is approximately 4 courses high (45cm high). Courses fine upwards (biggest boulders on bottom up to cobbles on top). Platform is cut into bedrock at rear. Dimensions: 280cm N-S across the slope and 220cm E-W down the slope. This construction has produced a very flat area. This is very similar to TP152 found on the south facing slope. Possibly a shooting platform but no cartridges. Potentially related to the mine as it is situated immediately below the two adits TP153. |
| Condition | Very good, no damage to wall. Lots of lichenation. |
