Description

Two large open vessels with broken rims are set into the earth at the lower left, against a wall of rough-cut stones. A wooden plank lies across a dark opening in the middle ground, with loose stone blocks and packed earth around it. Further back, ruined walls and fallen stones fill the sloping site.
