Description
Directly below the Upper Wadhole (20118*15) is a large spoilheap which is overlain by a series of much smaller spoilheaps along the side of the Wadhole. The platform is 20m long and 5.2m wide and is 14.1m high. The northwestern edge of the spoilheap, adjacent to the gill, is interrupted by a small triangular platform, 2.4m wide maximum. At one side of the smaller platform is an L-shaped section of wall, 3.3m by 1.8m and 0.2m high; any other part of the structure it belonged to has been obscured by tumble. Part of the side of the gill beside the building has been revetted (Lax, A. 1995).
