Description

A partly excavated area with a thick wall of rough stone blocks and flat slabs, its face set in packed earth. An earthen bank rises at the left, and a second stone wall runs along the right beside a recessed opening. The ground at the base is loose soil and rubble, with no people or equipment in view.
