Description

Low rubble walls of dressed and rough stones run across a flat, dry ridge that slopes toward the coast. In the middle foreground a pair of worn stone steps sits between wall lines, and a squared block stands at the left. The sea fills the background under a pale sky, with scrubby bushes along the shoreline.

Description, scan 2
Low stone walls and scattered rubble cross a bare, sloping hilltop. A short flight of two stone steps lies at centre-left beside a wall of large squared blocks. Beyond the ruins, low scrub borders a flat expanse of sea that meets the pale sky at the horizon.
