Description

A rock-cut tomb opening is exposed in the face of an excavation trench, with a dark hollow below and a cluster of pale oval stones set above it on the soil. The trench sides are loose, crumbly earth, and the floor in front of the opening is smooth sand, with a few dry grass stems at the lower left edge.
