Association

This canal trace was found on the lower slope of the same ridge that hosts Sk BC 21 on its upper reaches (map quad B3g).

Topography

This canal cuts across the lower slope of a north-south oriented ridgeline, above a narrow valley marked by evidence of disturbance from the nearby military base.

General Description

This canal trace is primarily visible only as a small linear ditch, 0.7m across, running along the slope of a long ridge line. However, in one area, the ditch widens considerably to 1.2m across before narrowing back to its original dimensions. Several shaped basalt blocks in the area suggest this may have been a check dam for controlling water flow through the canal.
