Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6704566. Authority coordinates are 30.644, 104.318. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
