Description

Stone wall foundations and rubble walls run across the foreground, with a cleared, level area to the right and a deep trench along the left beside a dark spoil heap. Several small figures stand or walk on the open ground in the middle distance, among scattered trees under a pale sky. A long pole leans at the left edge.
