Section of the Pit Alignment

Uploader's Comments

The Pit Alignment is not particularly well defined and it took several attempts before I found it. However once found it becomes obvious, the main thing to look out for is the change in vegetation and the embankments which run either side of the pits. In the above photo the marsh grass growing amongst the heather shows where the pits were. In fact to get an overall view of the alignment and how it is actually laid out it is best viewed in Google Earth. This photo taken in the second week of April 2014 at NZ 74434 10702
