Description

A tall, roughly built stone wall rises through the centre of the frame, its courses of flat and irregular blocks partly broken and mixed with earth. Loose stones and rubble lie on the ground in front, and a lower wall with more stonework extends to the right. No people are present; the view is a close, slightly low photograph of the excavated ruins.
