Description

A low cavity cut into a pale earth bank forms the tomb chamber, with its brown soil floor exposed. Several pottery vessels lie where they were found: a large round-bodied jar and a jug or jar lying on its side at the centre, with smaller bowls and juglets around the edges. Small fragments are scattered on the floor.
