Description

Looking down into an excavated area, rows of rough stones form low walls along both sides of a trench. A flat, dark-surfaced slab runs across the middle, with deep shadowed gaps between stone courses in the foreground and background. No people or equipment are visible, and loose soil and stones lie among the masonry.
