Description

A deep rectangular cutting with steep earth sides is seen from above during excavation. A large rounded boulder sits against the back wall on the right, and a small circular feature is set into the left wall. A box of small stones lies in the lower left corner, and a dry-stone wall with earth heaps and scrubby bushes runs along the upper edge.
