Description

A narrow passage cut steeply down into the ground, with earth walls rising on both sides and roots showing along the upper edges. At the far end, a dense heap of stones, many pale and rounded, fills the opening, with loose stones and soil spread over the floor in front. Light falls down the cut from above.
