Description, scan 2
A rectangular excavated cutting descends toward a dark opening, its sides lined with large cut stone blocks and a rubble wall on the upper edge. Loose stones and blocks lie on the surface near the right, and a dirt road runs along the right edge. On the road in the distance stand a few people beside a parked car, with bushes and trees on the hillside behind.
