Description

A narrow excavation cutting with earth walls on either side opens onto a tomb chamber filled with rounded stones and earth. Larger blocks sit against the back and sides of the opening, and thin roots or disturbed soil show in the crevices. No people are visible, and the view is taken straight down into the cut.
