Description

Looking down into a rectangular cut in the ground, the excavated tomb chamber holds several large rounded stones, one near the top and a larger one at the lower right. Pale loose soil forms a spoil heap in the foreground, a thin vertical rod stands at the bottom edge, and the cut walls show layers of earth.
