Human: Make a concise location description of a depressing scene outside a town ruins with a fountain, statue, and plaque. Assistant: 
Ruined foundations surround what was once a town square, its paved cobblestone haphazardly shattered and broken. A once-noble statue stands in the center of a fountain, completely missing its upper half and its historical plaque thoroughly defaced. The fountain is long since dry and desiccated, though small marble benches next to it are largely intact.
