Description

A narrow excavation trench runs diagonally through the frame, with large, roughly shaped pale stone blocks on both sides. A cylindrical stone element lies across the trench among the blocks, with a dark recess in one end. Earth banks rise behind the blocks on the left, and the bottom of the trench is in deep shadow.
