Description

A low wall of rough, roughly coursed stones runs across the foreground, with the ground cleared around its base. Behind it on the right, a taller stone wall with a dark recess at its foot rises above a bank of earth. In the background, heaps of excavated soil slope down toward a few shrubs under an open sky.
