Some of the walls had succumbed to the weight of ages, but, on the whole, the ruins are in a good state of preservation, and although I found cave-dwellings as far south as Zapuri, Chihuahua, none of them were nearly as well preserved nor on such an extensive scale.

Time would not allow me to visit the cave myself, and the following description is based on notes taken by Mr.Taylor on the spot, as well as on his photographs and his verbal explanations.
The space covered by the houses and fallen walls was 125 feet from side to side, and at the central part the dwellings were thirty-five feet deep.

The roof of the cave, or rather, the overhanging cliff, was at the highest point eighty feet above the floor.

The houses were arranged in an arc of a circle so large as hardly to deviate from a straight line.

The front row seems to have been of but one story, while the adjoining row back of it had two stories.
