Description

A round pit has been cut into pale excavated soil and is photographed from above at an angle. Its dark interior is in shadow, while the rim and the ground around it are scattered with small pebbles and a few larger stones, including one pale stone near the left edge. Grass grows along the top of the frame beyond the cut.
