Description

Rough-cut stone walls and loose stone blocks run across the excavated ground, with a person in dark clothing standing behind them at upper right. A steep earth bank rises behind, and a wire line crosses the top of the frame. In the distance a flat valley with low hills and a strip of dark trees can be seen.
