A trod made of irregularly shaped, flat stone slabs that are embedded into the earth. The stones appear to be slightly damp or mossy in places, suggesting a well-worn, route. On both sides of the path, the ground is covered with fallen leaves, dirt, and various types of undergrowth, including ferns and other leafy plants. The trees lining the path are tall and slender, with relatively smooth bark, and their foliage creates a dense canopy overhead.

This photo depicts a vast, open landscape under a dramatic, overcast sky. There are no patches of blue, and the light is diffuse. The immediate foreground and midground are covered in low-lying vegetation, following a controlled burn. In the distance, the land rises to form a gentle hill or ridge with a dip (holloway) noticeable beside the outline of a round barrow.
