Monochrome watercolour depicting the tumbled stone ramparts of Dolebury Hillfort. These reach a particularly impressive height toward the right of frame. In the distance, flat farmland stretches off toward the Bristol Channel, where the long promontory of Brean Down is clearly visible. The island of Steep Holm can just be seen in the water beyond, and further still lie the hills of South Wales. The sky is mottled with light cloud.
