Description

An excavated area of a building with low stone walls and round stone bases set on a bare, dug floor. A curved row of stones runs across the foreground, with a cut earth bank rising at the right. Dry, stony ground and a range of bare hills fill the background under a pale sky, and a wooden tripod-like frame stands at the left edge.
