Description

Large dressed stone blocks form a wall and a flight of stone steps in the foreground, with a dark vertical ranging pole standing against the blocks on the right. A moulded stone piece sits on the blocks at the right, and a white haze blurs the left side of the picture. Behind the ruins a earth heap rises, and a dark figure of a person is partly visible at the top left.
