Description

A large excavated profile, a pale rough face of packed soil and small stones, cut into stepped shapes. Dark openings sit at its base: an arched hollow at right and a smaller opening at left-centre, leading into darker recesses. A thin taut line runs diagonally across the top of the face, and loose stone blocks lie along the right and lower edges.

Description, scan 2: A large excavated face of pale, stony soil fills most of the frame, with a dark gallery opening at its base on the left and a second, arched opening on the right. A thin taut line runs diagonally across the top of the cut, and loose stones lie on the ground at the right and bottom left. The openings lead into darker hollows beneath the cut faces.
