Description
Immediately to the north there is a large shaft cut into the base of the slope, which measures 5.8m across and is 1.6m deep. Above the shaft is a deep hollow 3.4m wide and 0.7m deep; this may simply be due to the removal of earth to prevent it being washed into the shaft. There is a ridge of spoil around the lip of the shaft (Lax, A. 1995).
