Description

Walls of large, roughly dressed stone blocks run along the back of an excavated area, with more fallen blocks scattered on the higher ground behind them. In the centre a big slab lies over a dark hollow cut into the earth, and on the right a steep earth face shows the depth of the cutting. A small tree and shrubs stand against the pale sky at the top of the frame.
