Description

Description, scan 2: Dressed stone blocks form a wall and a projecting pier with small rectangular recesses, standing in a cleared area of pale ground. Behind them a heap of excavated earth rises, and three men in hats stand on it, the nearest holding a long-handled tool and another tool visible at the right edge. Low scrub grows at the left under an empty sky.
