Description

In the foreground, a pale, packed surface is cut by several rectangular pits, with loose stone blocks and rubble scattered among them. To the right, a low wall of squared stone blocks runs back toward a row of thin wooden stakes forming a fence along the far edge. Beyond, a rocky hill and the sea fill the background.
