Description

A cut face of pale, fine-grained soil or soft rock fills the frame, with fine diagonal tool marks across its right side. A dark opening with irregular edges sits low on the left, and a smaller round hole lies above and to the right of it. The chamber interior is too dark to show any stones, and no people or tools are visible.
