Description

Low stone walls and foundations curve across a shallow excavated area in the foreground, with rubble and loose stones scattered around them. Bare, eroded hills rise behind the site under a pale sky. A thin upright pole stands near the stonework at the lower right, possibly a ranging pole used for scale.
