Description

A narrow cut passage with earth walls runs up to a dark rectangular opening at the back. Flat stone slabs form steps in the foreground, and small stones lie on the floor inside the opening. A long wooden pole leans diagonally along the right side of the cut, probably used as a measuring rod.
