Description

A narrow, deep cut with pale, earth-walled sides runs straight away from the camera toward a dark opening at its far end. The walls show the marks of digging tools, and loose soil lies at the bottom left. No people or finds are visible, and the interior of the opening is too dark to show stones clearly.
