Description

A rectangular area is enclosed by roughly dressed stone walls, with a plastered or pale earthen floor inside and a circular pit cut into it near the left edge. Beyond the walls, the excavation cutting rises into a slope of loose soil and rubble, with a tree and bushes on the hillside behind. A tall wooden pole stands at the upper right.
