Description

A rectangular cut in pale sandy soil is seen from above, with its inner walls falling into shadow. Several large rough stones lie in the upper part of the cut, with a dark opening visible beneath them. A length of rope curves across the ground at the right edge, and loose stones and gravel scatter the surface around the cutting.
