Description

A deep excavation cutting shows rows of rough stone walls and foundations running up the frame, with a narrow central channel between two stone-faced lines. Loose rubble and boulders fill the lower foreground, and earthen banks rise at the upper left. Pale patches of mortar or plaster show on a wall at the centre.
