These foundation walls are all that is left of a structure measuring about 12 x 15 meters. The east, west and south walls are about 1.5 m. high. The north wall is about 3.00 m. high and is built into the old roadway coming down. In the centre is a large concrete pad with protruding steel bars. This picture shows the SW corner of the structure.
