Description, scan 2: A rough, stony hillside rises on the right, with a steep cut face of rock and earth beside a narrow channel. On the left, a pale sloping bank of loose soil is edged by a curved band of worked stone, which runs along the top and curves into the cutting. Loose stones and rock lie at the bottom of the cleared trench.
