Description

A trench has been cut into soil, with several large pale stone blocks lying in its floor and among loose rubble on the surface. Behind them a deeper dark cavity opens between upright rough-faced blocks at the back of the cut. No people or tools are visible; the ground around the trench is dry, dusty and strewn with small stones.
