- DU011-154 Structure
Description
This monument was subject to geophysical survey (Licence no. 08R117) and test excavation (licence no. 09E 0465) as part of the proposed Metro North development. It consists of a metalled surface (7.25m x 5.9m) associated with three U-shaped channels, postholes and pits.
