Not so... but that
eg We found only the ruins of a small fort, not so injured by time but that it might be easily restored to its former state.
Does it mean
-the fort is not so injured as to make it difficult to restore it to its former state. (it is easy to restore...)
or
-...is so injured that it can't be restored...
Thank you. OJ.
