Description

A pit in excavated ground holds a heap of large, roughly squared pale stone blocks, some tilted against one another and others stacked in layers. Loose rubble and small stones lie in the foreground, and earth banks rise at the edges of the cut. The blocks appear partly uncovered by digging, with soil still around their bases.
