Description

A deep excavation trench with rough, earth-cut sides rises behind a stack of large stone blocks on the left. A large flat stone slab lies in the foreground, and near the bottom a rounded object with broken edges sits in the soil beside a smaller stone. A dark recess opens in the right-hand wall, and a stepped cut is visible at the top of the trench.
