Description

A low wall of rough stones runs across the middle of an excavated area, with stone foundations continuing to the right and a dug trench behind them. The cleared ground in the foreground is bare and dusty, and beyond the excavation, spoil heaps and a row of trees stand against a flat horizon under an overcast sky.
