Description

A trench is cut into pale rock, with a low wall of rough stones running across it in the middle distance. Two parallel rails run along the top of the excavated area behind the wall, and loose stones and gravel lie around them. A white cylindrical object rests on the stones at the right, and a dark shadow falls across the left side.
