apparently concrete faced, form the upslope
perimeter of the mounds. Extending out 30 feet
from the structures is an arched-roof, drive-in

high, possibly an extension of the earth-mounded
storage structures. The earth fill is at least
20 feet above the top of the arched-roof en-
tranceway and appears to be excessive for high
explosives storage.
