Description, scan 2
A low line of rubble and large worked stone blocks runs diagonally across the grass toward a dense bank of bushes and trees. Several blocks are rounded or carved, and one large piece near the centre has a curved surface, while a single upright stone stands to the right. Hills and scrubby vegetation fill the background under a pale sky.
