Description, scan 2
Three large cylindrical stone blocks stand in a dry, stony open ground. The one on the left is cut off by the frame, the middle one is shown in profile with a pitted, eroded surface, and the one on the right stands alone near scrub. Low ruined walls and bushes stretch across the background under a clear sky, with distant hills on the horizon.
