Description

A rectangular cutting has been dug down into grassy ground, its sides showing layers of pale and dark soil. At the far end, a heap of rounded and angular stones sits against the cut face, with some smaller pale stones among them. The floor of the cutting is dark, loose soil, and the grass and tufts of vegetation fill the upper background.
