NOTE

1. Sackett et al. [1966] 68, (no. 63) says: "This is a low mound in the fields only about 200 m. from the entrance to the National Electric power station, and immediately north of the railway." National Power Plant Entrances are at F1687, F1688, and F1689. 200 m. circles centered on each of them actually converge at a point 38.390884°, 24.057207° which is, perhaps, the best candidate for this magoula. The area in question is still open although impinged upon by what appears to be a heavy equipment staging area.
