Description

Several low stone wall foundations stand in a cleared excavation area in the foreground, with rubble and exposed earth between them. Beyond a retaining wall line, flat open country stretches to a distant horizon, with a few isolated trees and a small dark shape of a figure or animal on the right. The sky fills most of the upper frame.
