Description

Fallen column drums and loose stone blocks lie across a sloping, sparsely grassed area in the foreground. A small marker post stands near the centre. Further back, several upright columns and a low stone base rise above the ground, with a tall tree on the right and dense shrubs and trees covering the slopes. Hills run along the horizon under a pale sky.
