Description

A wide view over excavated ruins on a coastal height, with low cut-stone walls and large dressed blocks lying in the foreground and middle ground. A pale open area runs between the walls, and loose rubble and spoil lie in the lower right. The sea stretches across the left background under a hazy sky, with a distant line of hills and a single upright stone standing on the right.
