Segment 1 (2-x-1-m). Upper west side; base of the cliff, on top of the talus slope. Unit was placed in the central to west-central part of a semi-flat area between boulders; even though a circular depression was not present in this area, the presence of a retaining wall suggested that a kiva existed.
