Description

A rectangular opening, the mouth of a tomb chamber, is cut down into pale earth and rubble, with its dark interior visible at the centre. A trench with steep sides runs along the left and back, and spoil heaps and scattered stones surround the cut. Beyond, a dry, sparsely shrubbed field leads to a line of hills, with a few trees on the right.
