Description

A trench has been cut into soil, and its back face shows scraped, streaked earth in layers. Against the base of this face sits a neat, roughly rectangular heap of flat stones, with more loose stones piled along the left edge of the trench. The floor of the cutting is bare earth, and the ground surface around the trench is level and pale.
