Description

Excavated ruins of rough stone walls, built of irregular stones, rise across the upper part of the view above a cleared, earthy surface. In the foreground a round, stone-lined pit sits in the ground, its inner face pale and its rim broken, while a low stone wall runs along the left edge above a deep shadowed cutting. The ground is bare earth with scattered loose stones.
