Description

Stone wall foundations run diagonally across a large excavated area, with a tall wall line in the foreground built of rough blocks and smaller stones. Further parallel and crossing walls of similar stonework extend into the background, and the ground between them is bare earth with scattered stones. Two small figures are visible near the top edge of the far excavation.

Description, scan 2
Low stone walls and foundations run across an excavated area, with a long rubble-built wall running diagonally from the foreground into the distance. Smaller wall lines and rectangular rooms branch off on both sides, and the excavated soil between them is bare and stony. Earth heaps and a pole stand at the top of the frame.
