Update: Cistern Steps

In a recent post, I mentioned that we thought we had found steps leading down into the cistern or reservoir.  

Here is a picture of what those steps looked like:


Upon further inspection, these stones do not appear to be worn.  If they had been steps we would see signs of wear from people walking on the stones for so many years.
We have come to the conclusion that they are part of the top of the wall and that the wall has been robbed out.

Not as exciting as we once thought.. but you have to go with what the evidence tells you!
