Description

A rounded, dark opening in rock, seen from above, with a course of stacked flat stones above it forming a wall or lintel. Inside the chamber a dark upright shape and a few fallen stone blocks lie in shadow. The surrounding rock is pale and rough, and the photograph is a close, straight-on view of the chamber mouth.
