Description:
Trench. Starts very close to the road. Very thick vegetation means the trench has to be left and picked up again at intervals. Modern water pipe cuts through part of the trench, which is very wide, possibly for the transportation of equipment. W. 20 m, d. 40 to 50 cm (deeper as trench goes down the slope). Probably stepped to 1.5 m
