Description

A stone arch with a dark opening spans a dry channel beside a dirt track in the foreground. Low walls of loose stones line the track edge, and a masonry parapet runs along the right side of the arch. Behind, a grove of trees, which look like olive trees, stretches across flat, scrubby ground under a pale sky.

Description, scan 2
A stone structure with a round-arched opening stands across a channel beside a dirt track, its dark interior visible under the arch. Dry-stone walling runs along the left edge of the track, and loose stones lie on the right near the vault. Trees and scrub fill the open ground behind under a pale sky.
