Association

Located 3.66 km southeast (bearing 144°) of Mets Mantash village, Ma Canal 4 is just 0.14km northeast (bearing 24°) of Ma Canal 5, of which it is likely a part (map quadrant B1g).

Topography

Both Ma Canal 4 and 5 were built on the upper flank of a low promontory that stretches from south to north.

General Description

The canal sits only 25m west of a natural stream, whose waters it may have been built to divert. Lined with moderate sized unworked basalt stones set into a linear depression 0.35m deep and no more than 1.0m wide, the canal runs roughly northwest at a bearing of 320°. The canal is quite clearly visible along a 80m length, after which it becomes more difficult to discern.
