The view towards the entrance passage that branches off to the right and was enclosed by a (now) open door. It can be seen to have been blocked by concrete rubble down what appears to be a sloping floor from the sealed off entrance doorway. The human figure gives a sense of scale to the shelter which is roughly cube shaped 3m x 3m x 3m. Image
