Description
Excerpt from Explorations in the Department of Peten, Guatemala, and Adjacent Region: Topoxté; Yaxhá; Benque Viejo; Naranjo
Opposite the north structure is a similar mound of débris Of what may be called the south structure, whose facade must naturally have faced north. Before this north side, just in front of the few steps of the substructure, is a still upright stela with a circular altar before it. I have called this Stela 6.
The west side of the square is closed by a large mound of ruins, doubt less Of the west structure, with a facade facing east. The substructure of this ruin forms a preliminary, eastern terrace to which is joined the Oblong, main terrace, which is surmounted by a structure with a little ?ight Of stairs in the middle Of the east side. NO stela was found in front of this structure.
