Description

A close view of an excavated trench, with pale stone blocks and rough earth walls rising on the left and a dark cut running down through the centre. On the right a flat, dusty surface of compacted soil slopes down to a deeper cut, and loose stones lie at the bottom left. No people or tools are visible.
