Description

A low, curving built structure of rounded and flat stones rises from a dark excavated floor, with pale mortar or plaster visible at its base. The surrounding earth is sloped and rough, and a wall of cut earth or stone runs across the upper background. No people or equipment are visible; the photograph is taken from above at an angle.
