Description

A long wall of roughly shaped, large stones runs diagonally across the frame, its upper courses rising toward the top edge. At its base a rocky, uneven surface and loose stones form a narrow cleared passage, with scattered rubble and soil on the right. No people or equipment are visible; the photograph is taken from ground level looking along the wall.
