Description

A wide panoramic view of a steep, sloping heap of dark dumped material filling the centre and right of the picture. Along the top of the hill at upper right are a rough cut face and buildings. A winding road runs below, with three small figures near its lower centre, and a low building with a pitched roof stands behind a fence at lower left, with hills behind.
