EAST PASSAGE
This passage is 80 ft. long from the foot of the Winding Stairs to the north side of South Enclosure C. At the foot of the Winding Stairs the passage-way turns east, the north side for 13 ft. being a large rounded buttress 6 ft. high. On the south side at this point is the eastern end of the Covered Passage leading up from the floor of the Western Temple, and a few feet further east is the northern entrance to the Upper Passage.

WEST ENTRANCE TO SOUTH CAVE, ACROPOLIS
From the 14 ft. length to the 31 ft. length of the passage going east are remains—only very ruined—of cement steps descending to a lower level. On the south side of this passage are South Enclosure A, South Passage, and South Enclosures B and C. The north side is formed by high, cliff-like boulders. The Buttress Passage starts north at the north side of the 51 ft. length going east. At the entrance to Buttress Passage a tree has lifted up a granite block 6 ft. from the ground. It is firmly fixed in the bark of the tree.
