Architectural notes
The chamber is rock hewn, the rock being a very soft calcareous sandstone. A shaft tomb - almost certainly not roofed as the roof, whether of artificial material or rock hewn, would have been too long to have been at all practical. There is a very rough (in its present condition) rock hewn step (if it may be called a step) in the entrance on the north rock hewn wall of the tomb. There never was a dromos unless far more of the vg sandstone scarp has disappeared than seems likely. The entrance is at the edge of the scarp. The walls of the shaft are vertical throughout unlike that of chamber
