Description

The photograph looks down a deep, narrow cutting with earth banks on both sides, leading to a wall of large squared blocks at the far end. A tall upright slab with a broken upper edge fills the doorway, with a small dark gap above it. Two flat stones lie at the foot of the slab on the bare earth floor of the cutting.

Description, scan 2: A deep, narrow cutting with earthen sides runs down to a wall of large squared stone blocks. In the centre, an upright stone slab with a rough opening at its upper left edge and a small round hole closes the entrance. Two small flat stones lie on the ground in front of the slab, and the floor of the cutting rises in steps toward the viewer.
