Description

Low walls of rough-cut stone form a grid of foundations across the foreground of an excavation. Beyond them, cut earth banks rise toward a sloping hillside of grass and scattered rocks, with a few trees and bushes at the left edge. The ground is bare and stony, and the photograph is taken from a raised viewpoint looking across the site.
