Description

A deeply recessed, multi-ringed pointed arch with carved moulded bands frames a doorway with a carved lintel panel above and a dark interior beyond the open leaf. Carved panels flank the entrance on the left, and plain ashlar masonry surrounds it. Broken stones and a heap of rubble lie on the ground in the foreground, and a wall with small openings rises at the right.

English
