Description, scan 2: Low stone foundations are exposed in an excavated area at Kythrea, with several rounded walls enclosing a flat, cleared surface. Cut edges of the excavation run between the walls, and a dark upright stake stands near the nearest wall at the left. Behind, bare eroded hills rise under a pale sky.
