Description

Large blocks and rubble fill most of the frame, with a pale, flat surface running between them through the lower centre. A deep shadowed hollow lies behind the stones at upper centre, and a small dark object rests on the pale surface near the middle. Soil ground runs along the left edge, and no people or tools are visible.
