Description

A dug area seen from above, filled with large pale limestone blocks and rubbish-like stone fragments set in dry, crumbly soil. A steep cut bank of earth rises at the back, and darker soil lies in the right background. No people, tools or finds are clearly visible; the stones appear to be natural or collapsed rubble rather than squared masonry.
