Description

A deep rectangular cutting in pale soil drops to a dark oval opening at its base, and the sides of the cut show layers of earth. Heaps of excavated earth lie beyond the edges, with scattered stones and a wooden stake or pole visible at the top left and top centre. The interior of the chamber is too dark to show bones or finds clearly.
