Dugout

 
We came across a partially constructed, sometime abandoned dugout on our walk this morning. We pass this way regularly, and haven't previously noticed the site, even though it looks as if it's been there for some time. It would've been fairly well camouflaged mind. There's a wall of sticks once clearly daubed with clay, grass and moss build on a platform of excavated clay, evidence suggests it once had a roof; it's not very big though, 1.5m by 2m say. I can think of better locations and conditions, it's very wet abouts, even in the dry season. Still, bravo for having a go I say, and better luck next time. I have to admit to having considered building something out myself.
