Description
A deep excavation trench cut through earth, with large rough stone blocks forming a wall on the left and a stepped, stone-built surface in the middle. Heaped soil and rubble line the upper edges of the cutting, and a small tree stands against the pale sky at the top left. A white measuring rod leans against the far face of the trench near the top centre.
