Obscured by the darkness of night

i.e., "las piedras" couldn't be seen properly because it was night time, making things that bit tougher.

That's my take anyway :)
Example sentence:

“Ahogadas por el embozo de la hora, las piedras del Cedrón tropezaban con el caminante...”

“Obscured by the darkness of night, the Kidron stones tripped the walkers...”

suffocated by the constraints of time

For some reason I don't really like 'collar' in this context

shrouded in the shadows of the late hour

I was tempted to opt for darkness/blackness, but the author refers to "la voluntariosa pero insufuciente luna", so there is some moonlight at least. Hence "shadows".
