Description

An excavated area at Ayia Irini seen from above, with low stone wall foundations running across the foreground and a bare earth surface between them. A high earthen bank rises at centre left above a stepped row of stone courses, and a few stacked stone blocks stand at the right. Scattered trees and low scrub cover the open ground beyond, and a tripod-like frame stands near the right edge.
