TOWER A

There are two towers situated on the south side of the Mancos below the

bridge on the Ship-rock Road, one about 6, the other 7 miles distant.

The walls of the first of these (pl. 30, _b_) are visible for some

distance and are about 6 feet high, evidently very much broken down on

the south and east sides. Its shape is round and there is a pile of

stones indicating rooms on the east side separated from the tower by

a depression. It would be a valuable contribution to our knowledge of

these ruins if some one would determine the nature of these pits, which

can hardly be regarded as reservoirs, but suggest kivas.
