Ruin

The bottom of the steps doesn't have a much higher step than the others as in the one at Smugglers Ridge.

What a great find! Do you have coordinates or a detailed Government Map? According to your marker it looks S of the circular Mount Parker trail.

How big is it?

The one in the picture I posted is the larger entrance in the valley, it has a smaller opening further up, but it's almost filled with fallen rocks. After clambering for some time, my pals were not able to move on further, so they retreated and joined me heading downhill into the valley.

The small one is facing north, whereas the larger one is facing east. Just enter this one, a flight of narrow steps lies a few metres from the entrance. Last August, it's flooded at the bottom of the steps, while it's already dried up when I visited it again a few weeks ago. Last time, I did not know there's the upper opening.

Coordinates of the large one:

22.2764961, 114.2186729

Just follow some faint tracks for the upper one on the same side of the valley.
