Description

A tall vertical face of dark, compacted soil fills most of the frame, with pale flecks scattered across it. At the left, an opening leads into a dim recess above a low ledge. In the foreground a large squared stone block sits beside a heap of rounded rubble stones and a flat slab lies on the floor, with a dressed stone wall at the right edge.
