Central hall with monk cellsOne of the doors of the monk cell leads to the adjacent cave (seen here with a wire mesh screen door. It seems that cave 7 was contemporaneous with the adjacent Cave 8, where the cells at the right were apparently omitted because of Cave 7's proximity and priority. A passage in this same wall, perhaps an aborted cell, connects the two excavations, apparently incorporating Cave 7's unfinished Cell.
