Description

Looking along a narrow excavation trench cut into pale soil, with steep earth faces on both sides. In the foreground a mound of loose stones lies on a flat, pale floor at the bottom of the trench, and a few stones project from the top edges of the banks. Open sky fills the background above the trench edges.
