Site 56: St. Agatha Field

Date of Exploration: March 16, 2011

This cistern was located in a field full of flowers and plants at the back of St. Agatha's (across from the small parking lot and road). It is directly beneath a large metal weathervane. We were not able to do an extensive exploration of this cistern though due to low water levels.

Shown below is one of the sonar scans we got from the cistern. Unfortunately, due to the very limited depth and piles of rocks and rubbish laying on the bottom, we were not able to get a definitive shape for the whole cistern.
