Description

Ruined stone masonry runs across the picture, with a pointed-arch doorway and a small niche in the wall on the right. A square pier stands on the left, partly hidden by dark conifer branches. In the foreground a rounded stone arch opens onto a dark interior, with rubble and scrubby plants on the ground, and a rock face rises behind the walls.
