Description | This wall contains a shoddily constricted sluice gate built with what seem to be reused pavers. The sluice is 0.16 m in length-by-0.49 m in width-by-0.60 m in height. It is associated with several roughly detectable remains of what appear to be small channels. Originally, there might have been stair treads in front of this wall that were later robbed at some point before the area was filled in with debris. |
