Description

An excavated trench with a rounded pit cut into the pale soil floor in the foreground. A heap of stones lies against the back of the cutting, and a pale earth wall with a rough edge rises on the left. The sides of the trench are dark vertical earth faces, and a small mound of loose soil sits beside the stones.
