SiteComments:

This area is the original dam construction site from the 1930’s. It consists of several related features. The following features are included here: a large concrete structure that is assumed to have served as a set of seven hoppers for holding construction materials, the remains of an old machine, the floor of what is assumed to have been a shed with wooden poles in it around the edges, a small concrete structure that might have been a dam, and several concrete machine bases and walls that have been damaged by the construction of the N7. On one of these machine bases is inscribed the date 19.1.33. A terraced road runs along the back of the construction site. A very light scatter of MSA artefacts occurs over the general area.
