An ink drawing on cream paper features a rugged landscape with stone ruins. In the foreground, crumbling masonry and a solitary dark bird are rendered with dense black hatching and cross-hatching. Beyond the ruins, rolling hills defined by fine, undulating lines rise toward a light sky where three birds soar. Handwritten text at the bottom reads, "Ruined Huts OF THE Doones," while a signature, "W. H. Drake," is positioned in the lower left.
