The site comprises a deep circular excavation which had been dug by hand and which is located 24m south of Mining Block H. The excavation is completely vertical, roughly 2m across and 10m deep. A second similarly sized excavation was made through a section of the first. Two possible interpretations for the site can be suggested, namely that it formed part
of historic exploration and mining activities or alternatively that it represents a well.
