Description

A trench cut into soil shows a low wall of large stones running diagonally across the centre, with a flat stone-edged surface beside it on the right. Loose stones and rubble lie around the excavated area, and the cut face at the back shows layers of earth with scattered stones. A railway track runs along the top right edge of the excavation.
