Description

A rounded pit has been dug into compacted earth, and its curved walls show the layers of soil. A single stone lies on the floor of the pit near its back edge, and an earthen ledge stands in the foreground on the right. Loose stones and a heap of spoil fill the upper part of the frame, with a small upright stick near the top right.
