Description

An excavated cut in the soil seen from above, with steep earth sides and a fairly flat floor. A heap of loose stones lies against the back of the hollow, and layered banks of earth rise on the left and right. Scattered stones and rubble lie on the surrounding ground, and a number label is written at the lower edges of the print.
