Description, scan 2
A ruined wall of rubble and dressed stone contains a tall arched window opening, divided by a central upright into two lower lights with a carved panel of quatrefoil and cusped openings above. Through the openings a pale sky and distant land are visible. Dressed stone blocks form a sill and low bench-like step at the base, above a bare stony ground surface.
