Meep!
Despite the weather, which worsened again after last night (raining, raining, raining), we went to have a look at the Ancient Roman Pit of Death / Well / Thing / Chocolate Fountain.
It turned out to be a thing, and here's how me and my sister found out...
As you can see from that photo ^ I was standing on the bank opposite the thing.
So me and my sister went back, around and came up above it. There was this weird thing:
No idea what that was O.O
Anyway, a bit to the left of that ^ there was the edge of the bank (the top of the wall), which was COVERED in brambles.
I managed to get through some of them, then I climbed onto a tree. Well, a branch of a tree. I could see it was rotten, but guessed it would hold me.
I looked over and could see that the thing had a bottom which wasn't deeper than the streambed.
So WHAT is it, exactly?
Tomorrow we'll see if we can have a closer look...
