Description

A round, roughly circular pit has been dug into pale, sandy soil, its dark fill visible at the bottom and its sides showing layers of earth. Loose stones and pebbles lie scattered across the ground around the pit, with larger rocks near the top edge of the frame. No people, tools or scale are visible in the view.
