Description

A wide view over an excavated area with low rubble-stone walls and foundations outlining rooms around a cleared, level floor of packed earth. Large stone blocks sit along the edges of the walls, and a solitary tree stands on the flat horizon beyond the ruins. Earth banks and dry, open ground fill the background under a pale sky.
