Description

A stone-lined stepped passage slopes down toward a tomb entrance closed by a barred iron grille, with a dark chamber opening behind it. Loose stones line the top edges of the passage walls. Beyond, a bare, stony hillside with scattered shrubs rises to low hills, and a tree stands at the upper left.
