Description

An excavated area at Kythrea shows a ring of low stone wall foundations enclosing a flat floor. Two rounded stone blocks stand near the centre, one in front of the other, and loose flat stones lie scattered in the foreground. A wooden tripod stands to the left, and beyond the excavation are an earth bank, a few distant buildings, trees and hills under a pale sky.
