Description

A dark opening cut into a sloping earth bank is seen from the front and slightly above. Inside, a row of flat stones lies against the back of the chamber, and the floor of the chamber is in shadow. Pale earth walls frame the opening at the top and right, and a partly visible handwritten label appears at the bottom edge.
