Description

A deep, narrow cut runs down through pale earth, with a stone-edged opening in one side that leads into darkness. The sides show layers of soil and loose stones, and a rounded stone edge crosses the top of the opening. The shadow of a tripod and camera falls across the right-hand bank, and a dark object and pale cloth lie at the top right edge.
