Description
Unspecified swallets (closed depressions, dolines, sinks, or sink holes) are situated on the right of the path from Bodyar [Budher Forest Rest House] as it emerges from the forest on to Moila Hill. […] In the first swallet, about 4 ft down below the floor on the south side, the end of a large sawn off log was noted. Appeared to have been put there purposely as if to block a pothole. Lack of time & weather prevented further investigations (Glennie, E A 1946.08.01 Mss: Bodyar Area Potholes).Unspecified swallets (closed depressions, dolines, sinks, or sink holes) are situated on the right of the path from Bodyar [Budher Forest Rest House] as it emerges from the forest on to Moila Hill.
