Description

Stone walls and rubble lie in stepped terraces of packed earth across the excavated temenos at Ayia Irini. In the foreground, low walls and loose stones fill the trench, and a bare slope rises behind them to a skyline with two small trees. A dark, partly visible figure, cut off by the left edge of the frame, is at the top left.
