Description

A long, low mound of earth and stone runs across the middle distance, its faces cut back in vertical banks. About five people sit or stand along the top, and a small pale post stands at the left end. A tall dark tree frames the view from above, a single-storey building with a pitched roof sits at the right, and a dirt track and wire fence run across the foreground over scrubby grass.
