Description

An excavated cut in pale, sandy soil forms a broad hollow, with a dark rectangular tomb-chamber opening in its back wall and a second dark opening at lower left. Loose stones lie at the left edge and a small stake stands at the top of the cut, with dry grass and scattered stones on the surrounding ground.
