Description

A deep excavation trench runs diagonally through the frame, with a high bank of dark, stony soil filling the left side and a pale stone wall face at the far end. Loose stones and rubble lie on top of the bank and along the trench floor, and a narrow channel of bare earth runs down the right. No people are present, and the view is taken across the cutting under a plain sky.
