What was the 2nd little hole for?

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not sure. Ventilation?

I would guess an inlet for a small fire, like an igloo.

Just a guess, but if someone steps over it, the light from that small hole is covered, so the occupants of the hole know to squeeze into the corner so they wont be seen if someone peers down into the hole.
