LOOKING SOUTH-WEST ACROSS THE CULVERT SITE 2015

NORTH-EAST SIDE OF GAP 2013
The remains of two horizontal timbers can clearly be seen.
They probably part of the floor of the culvert. Erosian has since made the gully much deeper.
Photo: Alister J Cameron
CLOSEUP OF TIMBERS 2013
It is likely that these were preserved from fire and other destructive agency by being formerly buried in the bank.
Photo: Alister J Cameron
RUSTED METAL ITEMS ON FLOOR OF GAP 2013
Were either part of the original structure or were part of a later item that was placed there to try to avoid erosian.

In the background the metal rods can just be seen.

THE FLAGSTONE PAVING SEEN FROM OTHER DIRECTION.
Appears to have been formerly covered with mud and later exposed due to excavation of erosian.
Photo: Alister J Cameron
CLOSEUP OF MIHI CROSSING WORKING PLAN 1867
Upper side of that culvert has a drawing that possibly represents stone paving.
The 'fourth' culvert here may have had a similar design.
