Description

A sloping, sandy-floored cutting runs up to the dark opening of a tomb in the earth bank. Inside the chamber, a flat stone slab and a scatter of stones lie on the floor, and a piece of wood lies in the cutting. At the right edge a person in a light head covering sits beside a wheelbarrow or tray on the spoil-covered ground, with grass above.
