You have to be careful not to miss this ruin. Although it is right on the trail, but is currently very overgrown.

I contacted the municipal administration and asked if anyone there could give me information about the ruins. Unfortunately nobody really knew what was going on. But I was promised that they would pull out all the stops to help me further. A few days later, City Hall contacted me to report what they had found.
Several years ago (no information) a private person tried to build a quarry on this site. He must have failed. Unfortunately, it is not known whether it was due to the financing or the miserable yield.
So the good man has crossed the sails. This ruin remains.
Many thanks at this point to Mr. Horz ✌️

Now that the leaves are off the trees, you have reasonable light to chew.
