Description

A narrow excavated cutting runs up from the foreground toward a dark rock-cut opening overgrown with low scrub. Inside the opening, a cluster of pale rounded stones lies heaped against the back of the cut, and the earth walls of the cutting are vertical and clearly stepped. No people are working in the frame, and a thin pale marker stands in the soil above the opening.
