Description

A view down into a roughly oval excavation pit with earthen sides. A large rounded stone sits against the back wall near the top, with a smaller stone beside it, and dark root-like shapes hang from the upper edge on the right. The floor of the pit is soil and the surrounding ground is bare and crumbly.
