Description

A deep excavated pit or cutting with earthen sides, its dark floor in shadow at the centre. Large rough stone blocks lie around the lower edge in the foreground, and pale plastered or rubble walls rise behind and to the right. No people are shown; the scene is a close view of the excavated ground and stonework.
