Description

A deep excavation trench runs through soil banks, with a large squared stone block standing in the centre-left and a wall of rubble stones along the right side. A dark pit opens beside the block, and a pale wall face fills the upper right corner. Two people's heads are just visible at the far top edge of the trench.
