Description

A narrow cut passage runs steeply down between earth walls toward a tomb entrance. Stacked dressed blocks form a wall above the opening, and a large rectangular door-stone lies in front of the doorway at the bottom of the passage. The earth banks above are rough and layered, and the floor of the passage is bare and smooth.
