Description

A narrow excavation trench runs diagonally through the frame, with large rectangular stone blocks lying in its floor and along its far edge. Smaller stones and loose soil cover the ground beyond the trench, and a thin stick or peg lies across the top of the view. The trench walls are cut straight in the earth, and no people are visible.
