North of the ruin 119 we found ruins of 2 buildings (120 and

 side of a natural wall 060 M. high, the vertical side of which formed 

 the lowermost part of the west wall of the structure. The mode 

 of construction was solid. The many stones lying about show that 

 the walls has been higher. The part still standing of the common 

 wall was ca. 060 M. high and 050 M. broad at its greatest length.

The remaining walls were only up to a height of ca. 025 M. Between 

 the door openings the common wall was very broad. The southern 

 room (120) was 2 meters square, with rounded corners. The northern 

 room (121) was square, 2 M. in east to west and 125 M. in north to 

 south direction, with rectangular corners. Both the rooms had the 

 door opening towards the east, 050 M. broad, and forming a short 

 passage. It seems most reasonable to suppose that these two ruins 

 were the remains of winter-houses Ч
