Description

A dark, roughly circular opening is cut into a pale, crumbly earth surface, with its shadowed interior filling much of the left and centre of the frame. To the right, several light-coloured stones sit within the soil face, and loose earth and small debris cover the ground around the opening. No people or equipment are visible.
