| Description: | The top break of the cut is sharp. The sides of the cut are vertical. The break at the base of the cut is gradual. The base of the cut is flat. Truncation: n/a. | |
| Notes: | This cut surrounds the well on the south side. Due to time constraints the N. edge will not be explored. The Western edge even extends outside the remaining wellhead, approximately 10cm. The cut may represent th eplacement of the no longer remaining wellhead, large pieces of which were thrown into the well in antiquity when it was backfilled. As well as the platform from which a pulley system was erected during the initial construction of the well. At the base of the cut, where the wellhead is no longer, 3 possible postholed were found for the aforementioned pulley system. 0,04 x 0,10, 0,20 x 0,20. These were cut into the bedrock, as the rest of the base is composed of. A coin was discovered in one of these postholes, el. 81,235m. | |
