Description

Low stone walls and foundations of rough and cut blocks spread across an excavated area in the foreground and middle ground. A stepped arrangement of blocks descends toward the centre, and a long rectangular stone sits cut into the lower ground at the front. Bare rocky hills rise in the background, with a pale strip of water at the far left under an empty sky.
