Description:
The largest preserved feature is an approximately 3.5 m² by 4 m high structure which may have been part of the tall central building that dominated the historic ingenio. This structure may have been vented by the chimney in the historic photo. Constructed of finished volcanic rock and mortar, it has an arched opening on its western side which leads into a deep pit which likely functioned as the combustion chamber.
