Close-up of a door way or may simply be a hole in the original construction.  The ruins are well above the creek for protection from flooding.  This construction is of much poorer quality and badly laid stonework in comparison to the bulk of the ruin.

Image down the line of the ruins shows the overhang in profile.   The goal in photographing the ruins is to arrive around 11:00 AM to get the most of the reflected light from the rock shelf base of the ruins projected onto the underside of the overhang.

House on Fire Ruins in the South Fork of Mule Canyon. We explored the area briefly around and above the ruins but found no other construction.  This is a worthy goal and will take at least two hours to visit properly.
