Description

A deep excavated pit is seen from above, with a dark soil profile on its back wall and rough, rubbly faces on both sides. Several rounded stone pieces sit at the upper edge in the centre, part of a statue deposit. A flat ledge shows at the bottom of the cut, and the ground around the pit is pale and disturbed.
