Figure 4. 3 November, 2015, 110 years later, and 60 years after re plastering of the masonry and bedrock. The bosses of the draughted masonry remain visible as bumps in the thick layer of cement, but the “coping” has been removed. 3-11-2015.

Figure 28. While stones were being removed, another part of the team began removing the soil using buckets and ropes. The strategy was to remove the thinner layers from the edges where bedrock was higher to isolate the deeper and thicker layer in the middle. This and the following 20 photographs show the soil ‘melt’ away until the final remnant is removed from the deeper center. 20-10-2015
