Description

Several carved stone capitals with acanthus-like leaf carving lie in a shallow excavated trench among pebbles and damp soil. A large cylindrical column drum lies diagonally across the centre, and another drum sits at the lower right edge. A stepped stone block stands in the foreground, while earth banks and a stone face rise behind.
