Description

A narrow excavated trench runs down the centre of the view, with a row of large stones forming a wall along its right side and a rubble-strewn surface beyond. On the left, a cut face of soil and a broken stone wall line the trench, and rubble and stones lie scattered across the ground in the background. No people are working in the scene.
