(27/VI/41) Tr. 43 Extension Section plot both ways & a plan nearly done, when the lower part, the transverse dromos with its 2 doors, to be filled in case of marauders. Above the transverse dromos, we seem to have, as remarked, the end of the dromos for the oblique section of Tomb 1. [Pl. II?]. Today too, from different aspect. Note that there are steps cut in roughly near the top edge, back. There is a rock cut edge S of this dromos, and .50 higher, cutting in the edge of apparently another?, somewhat oblique to it. The SW side of this is built up with roughly with stones. Back (W) of Tomb 1(?) dromos, and still ca. .50 higher than the cutting with built side, the S edge comes up parallel with that of Tomb 1 dromos (N side, the rock does not rise high, so no corner preserved.)

In 20.30 opposite, note that bottom of transverse dromos is somewhat confused by deposit of dry earth blown in and unfortunately not swept out before photographs taken.
