Description

Low stone wall foundations and scattered rubble fill the excavated area in the foreground and middle distance. A tent stands on the right beside bare, dug earth, and two trees rise on the left, one with a wooden ladder leaning against it. Beyond the walls the ground rises gently under a pale sky, and no workers are visible.
