Association

This corral and associated features are located 0.19km southwest (bearing 214°) of Ts Corral 4.

Topography

These constructions were built on the northwestern bank of a small watercourse, on a gentle southeast facing slope.

General Description

The main built feature at this site is a small circular corral, 16m in diameter. It is constructed of a single line of large unworked boulders set end to end. On the northern end of this construction is a shallow circular pit, 4.5m in diameter, enclosed by a well-made, double-faced curvilinear wall. An entrance to this "room", 80cm wide, is visible on the northern perimeter.

Features & Materials

Two indeterminate sherds were found in the area of these structures. Morphologically, it is likely that the pit house and adjacent corral were built during the 16th-19th centuries A.D. as small pasture dwellings, however a more certain dating must await excavation.
