Why have a couple of bolts been placed a few feet above the floor in the Main Chamber on the wall opposite the entrance? There is no sign of bolts higher on the wall and they are too far from the mud dig to be of use there.

One of the original test beds I believe ... quite a few in that area if you look carefully.

Thanks Damian. If they are for testing, shouldn't they be removed if no longer needed?

In these more enlightened times I doubt a test bed in such a location would be used - for conservation reasons. More recent test beds have been far more discrete and carefully chosen.
