A piece of land is sharply separated by a robust stone retaining wall, meticulously constructed from rough, grey-brown stones. The ground behind this cool, solid wall rises noticeably higher, forming an elevated plateau, while the land on the other side remains at a lower level. Adjacent to the retaining wall, a simple flagstone staircase descends, each flat, irregular stone step providing a firm, cool surface underfoot, offering a direct path between the two distinct elevations.
