Description

A broad excavation seen from above, with low stone wall foundations running across a pale, levelled surface. A large squared block stands at the right, beside a heap of fallen stones. Behind, the cut earth faces of trenches and a spoil heap rise toward a scrubby hillside with scattered stones and a few trees.
