Description, scan 2: A deep, dark pit cut into the ground, seen from above, with earth sides rising on the left and right. Pale, rough soil lies along the upper edges, a large stone sits at the top of the frame, and smaller stones show at the lower left. The interior is almost completely in shadow, so the floor of the pit cannot be made out.
