A dark tomb chamber seen from inside, with large pale stone blocks framing a rectangular opening on the left. Loose stones and rubble lie at the foot of the opening, and a flat stone slab runs across the floor in front of it. A thick stone ledge projects from the right-hand wall, and the rest of the chamber is almost black.
