Description

A narrow excavated trench with steep earth faces on both sides, photographed from above at the edge. Several dark stone blocks and slabs lie loose in the soil, some piled against the far wall and others lower down in the cut. A ledge of earth juts out near the top, and the foreground shows the flat surface of the ground around the trench.
