Description

Two dark openings are cut into a pale, eroded slope of excavated soil at Marion. The larger opening on the right opens into a deep chamber, and a smaller arched opening sits to the left, with a sloping dromos-like cutting in front. Scrubby grass and shrubs grow along the top edge, and loose stones lie scattered on the bank.
