Description

A steep rocky hill rises in the centre, its summit crowned by a ruined tower and broken walls, with more ruined walls running along the slopes to the left and right. Scrub trees grow among the rock outcrops, and the bare ground in the foreground is strewn with loose stones and rubble. The sky above is pale and empty.
