Association

This canal trace (plate VIb) runs across the midsection of a southwest facing slope before turning northeast along the western slope of the same outcrop that hosts the western edge of Ts Settlement 2, above an adjacent watercourse (map quads B4g/k).

Topography

The canal runs along the mid-sections of southwest and northwest-facing slopes before turning 90° down slope into the adjacent valley.

General Description

This canal trace is visible only as a linear depression cut into the mid-sections of two extended hillsides. The canal appears to have its source in a small natural watercourse, diverting water onto the side of an extended northwest-facing ridge where it extends for 295m. Although the turn in this canal is not presently visible, it appears to then head northeast along an adjacent slope where the canal trace is once again visible for 66m before it curves westward to run 48m down slope. It then turns to the northeast along the midsection of the slope for 106m before returning to a northwesterly bearing to run down slope for another 68m, entering a low basin. The course of the canal trace is no longer visible in this basin but may join with the adjacent natural watercourse 50m to the west. No stones outline the edges of the canal, but the depression which marks the trace ranges from 0.5 to 0.7m in width.
