Description

An excavated tomb chamber cut down into the ground, with a heap of pale stones piled against its back and left side. The chamber floor is dark, compacted soil, and the cut edges are rough, showing the earth layers above. Loose stones lie along the lower right edge, and a pale bank of spoil frames the left side of the view.
