Description

A long wall of rough stones runs diagonally across the foreground, with large flat slabs along its top and smaller stones packed into the lower courses. Behind it rises an eroded earthen mass, and beyond lies open, flat ground under a pale sky. A paler strip of ground with scattered stones lies along the right edge.
