(4) Causeway (of G 6040 ?) south of G 6036 and G 6037
From the lower level of rock south of G 6037, a causeway rises over the fissure to the level of the floor of G 6040.

[ILLUSTRATION]

This causeway is of rubble and has a rubble parapet on the north (perhaps also on south). Just south of it, is a second rubble causeway or enclosing wall. There is a space between this second wall and G 6041.
