Description

A close view of a steep face of excavated soil, banded with flat slabs of stone and darker layers. Several rounded stones or nodules are embedded in the soil in the centre and right, and loose rubble lies along the top edge. Stone slabs also project from the lower right corner, with a little loose gravel at their base.
