Description
The exit of another tunnel was found farther to the east and nearer to the cliffs overhanging the river. Here a succession of natural rock fissures appeared to have been utilised by man, for ancient masonry in places lined the rock walls. At a distance of some 25 yards [22.75 m] ascent became difficult owing to fallen blocks of stone. Whether the two passages meet higher up, as local tradition asserts, could be ascertained only by thorough clearing, which would take time and adequate preparations. But it appeared to me very probable that at least the lower of them, if not both, was intended for the purpose above indicated (STEIN, M A 1927a: 427-430; 1929a: 39, location map on Fig. 17).
