Description

A trench has been dug down to reveal low stone walls and a flat paved floor, with a squared stone block at the left edge. Cut stone courses and rubble walls form a corner in the middle, and a raised stone bench runs along the far side. Spoil heaps and scattered stones lie in the foreground, and a few trees stand on the bare hillside behind the excavation.
