Description

A narrow excavation trench cut down into pale soil, photographed from above. A large rounded boulder sits against the back of the cut, partly embedded in the earth, and a pile of smaller stones lies along the top right edge of the trench. The trench floor is dark and loose at the bottom, with no people or equipment visible.
