Description

Looking along a narrow excavated trench, a large vertical earth profile wall fills the centre, with its soil layers visible in the face. Flat stone slabs run across the base in front of it, and rough cut walls rise on the left and right. A tree and a leaning wooden pole appear at the top against a bright sky.
