Description

A rocky hillside is cut into low terraces and uneven stone walls, with courses of rough-cut stones and dark recesses. Some walls are built against the rock, and a dark opening sits in the middle distance. Beyond the excavated ground, a flat plain and a line of hills fade into a hazy sky.
