Description, scan 2
Stone wall foundations run across a dug trench, with loose stones and a large squared stone block on the right of the excavated ground. Heaps of earth and cut edges surround the trenches, and beyond them stretch open fields and low hills with a few trees on the skyline. No people are working in the view.
