Description

A narrow, deep cut in the soil runs from the foreground into a dark rectangular opening at the far end, which is the entrance to the tomb chamber. Grass grows along the left edge and loose stones lie on the right, and a small pale stake stands at the left of the cut. No people are visible, and the bank of excavated earth frames the view.
