About this Structure

General Location

In the great tower complex.

Specific Location

Adjacent to, and south of the great tower bi-wall structure.

Interpretive Type

Structure Use

Few data on which to base an interpretation of use, other than the kiva architectural style and the presence of a bench-face niche. The presence of the niche suggests some ritual use of the structure, but does not preclude domestic use.
