Description

A trench has been dug into earth, exposing a low wall of large stone blocks laid in courses on the right and centre. Several loose, flat-topped limestone blocks lie scattered across the floor of the cutting and along its edges, and a tilted block rests against the wall. No people are shown; the photograph is taken from above at an angle.
