Description
An unspecified cave entrance (unidentified shape, unidentified dimensions, unidentified orientation, unidentified characteristics) is said to give access to an unspecified cave in granite and Gneiss (Kharpran Daly, B D 2015.09.01 dated -30th April, 2015- Mss: A report on the preliminary investigation of caves at village Mawkamoit). ETYMOLOGY: The origin and history of the cave name Mawlatamra (Kharpran Daly, B D 2015.09.01 Mss) or, perhaps, Kroh Mawlatamra (note 1) has not yet been identified. It translates as Superimposed Rocks (note 2) and seems to be a fitting description for a talus with entrances leading to gaps between dislocated boulders (note 3). SETTING: Mawlatamra WGS84 (25Ý35´44ÞN: 91Ý28´36ÞE) is located on the western flank of the village of Mawkamoit (Kharpran Daly, B D 2015.09.01 Mss).An unspecified cave entrance (unidentified shape, unidentified dimensions, unidentified orientation, unidentified characteristics) is said to give access to an unspecified cave in granite and Gneiss (Kharpran Daly, B D 2015.09.01 dated -30th April, 2015- Mss: A report on the preliminary investigation of caves at village Mawkamoit).
