Low stone walls and foundations of excavated structures lie on a dry, stony hillside, with a sandy floor inside the curved walls. Two cylindrical stone bases stand near the centre of the excavated area. Hills rise behind under a pale sky, and loose stones and rubble cover the ground in the foreground.

Description, scan 2
Viewed from a raised position, the excavated remains of curved and straight stone walls, low and partly collapsed, surround a cleared, sandy floor. Several larger upright stone blocks stand in the middle of the area. Behind the site, eroded hills rise under an open sky, and stony soil fills the foreground.
