Description

A vertical face of pale excavated earth fills most of the frame, with a large rectangular stone block set against its base. A dark opening shows in the earth just above the block, and a dark, flat-floored recess lies below it in the lower centre. The soil around the cutting is rough and crumbly, with a narrow dark mark at the left edge.
