Sunday, 14th July 2002

My first sweat house really was a good one and spoilt me really. I didn't know what to expect here but I was hoping for another near perfect sweathouse. What I found was the remains of the sweat house and nothing more.

There is just part of the rear wall remaining (I think a lot of the structure is filled in) with a roof slab lying against one side. At least I could tell that this one did not have a full corbelled roof.

It is very noticable that it is built into the only mound in the locale.
