Description

A large section of wall built of rectangular blocks, possibly mud brick, rises in the centre of the frame above a course of rougher, flatter stones. Behind it are further ruined walls and heaps of earth and rubble, with a sloping bank of soil on the left. No people are in view, and the trench floor in the foreground is bare earth.
