It’s a wall. It changed below ground level? I believe my contractor called that “the foundation”. Archeologists need to watch HGTV once in awhile instead of all that smut they watch.

I believe the movie is “Five Million Years from Earth.”
Haven’t seen it in ages but still love it.

Should also say, I think Stephen King co-opted the idea for his novel “Tommyknockers”.

Oh dear, they do need to be careful. If the Pandorica is ever opened again, well, lets just say there’s no Dr around to fix it all this time! The Daleks and Cybermen will have it ...

Also known as “Quatermass and the Pit”. That movie was a little slice of awesome, and well worth seeking out.
