Directions: 

MKU06 is located in the northwestern corner of the study area, on the top of the hill.

SiteComments: 

The site consists of a cluster of fourteen, old E. ingens. Most of the E. ingens are associated with lower and/or grinding stones and occasionally pottery sherds. There are MSA and LSA stone tools all over the hill and some of the upper grinding stones may be associated with the Stone Age material. The furthest distance between the E. ingens is ~200m. All of the E. ingens are large and relatively old (older than 50 years). The one E. ingens has two loose, or scattered, stone cairns nearby it to the west and north. There are two concentrations of stones in an area that is relatively clear of large stones. I would suggest that these are treated as potential graves. These cairns are not the result of field clearance.
