Description

A pencil field plan on squared grid paper shows a circular cistern opening with a thick ring near the centre. Irregular outlines of rooms and stone walls surround it, and a large elongated outline extends to the right. Red crosses and handwritten level figures are scattered across the drawing, with notes along the top edge; the sheet sits on a dark blue background.

Description, scan 1
This is the back of a paper sheet, cream-coloured and foxed, with orange staining along the top edge and torn margins at the left and bottom. In the upper right corner are handwritten pencil notes: a number, a single word and a short code beneath it. The sheet lies against a dark blue background, and no drawing marks are visible on this side.
