Description, scan 2: The view looks into a stone chamber with a sloping ceiling of large blocks and walls built from squared stone blocks in courses. Dark soil covers the floor, with several flat stone slabs lying across it, including a pale slab in the lower centre and a larger slab to the right. A thick rounded stone pillar or wall edge fills the right edge of the frame.
