Description

A sloping cut in the earth leads toward a dark tomb opening at the back of the excavated area. In the foreground a loose heap of rough stones sits on the excavated floor, and a few pale stones lie on the banks. Grass and scrub grow along the top edge of the cutting, and a wooden stake stands at the right.
