Description

A dug cutting in soil shows a dark opening, probably a tomb entrance, in the back wall, with a heap of loose stones and rubble spread across the floor of the cutting in front of it. Grass and scrub grow along the top edge of the excavated bank, and the ground in the foreground is bare, loose earth with small stones scattered over it. No people or finds are visible.
