Andong Preng

Andón Prén 273 (M. H. 263).

I also borrow in part the description of I. de Lajonquière for the Andón Prén by correcting it or completing it in italics: It is a basin dug at about 140 m. west of the Rahal and which is almost perpendicular to it, almost at the height of the middle of this face but closer to the N face and not the S face as the map indicates. It is 35m. long and 25 m of width; its embankments are covered with steps, on a laterite infrastructure; their extremely steep slope, 2/1, starts from a sandstone coping that runs on all four sides. Twelve steps of sandstone are recognizable: others below, of dubious material, descend perhaps to the number of ten. The orientation of this basin has undergone the deviation common to all the monuments of the group. L. de Lajonquière praises the purity of its water; I found it dry at the end of May 1929 and in April 1933, and the water was by no means clear there in June 1930.
