Description

A narrow, deep cut runs down through packed soil, with large stone slabs and a block at its base. Higher up, a large stone rests against one wall of the cut, and a flat slab lies across the lower opening. A small rounded object sits to the left of the base, and the surrounding ground is scattered with stones and dry plant material.
