Description

A wide excavated area at Vouni, with a long row of large cut stone blocks and low walls of rubble along the far side. In the foreground two upright stone blocks stand in a sunken hollow, with a dark gap open beside them. Trees and bushes rise on the ground at the top of the view, and something that looks like hanging cloth shows at the far right edge.
