General description of the unknown structural unit

Stone built water well in Room XLI. Remains of woods were found in the well. It has been assumed that they were part of the wooden (super)structure (windlass and its supports) that collapsed into the well during the destruction. This wooden structure was based on the upper poros-stone row of the well.
