3/114/11The dromos is small and almost square. It has one chamber, and this faces north. 6 small deposition chambers exist: 2 on the eastern wall-gen, 1 on the southern, 2 on the western and 1 on the northern. The rock lay almost at the surface, covered only by a foot-deep earth layer. The dromos fill was homogeneous. The chamber is opened. It is a very large chamber which whose find layer is covered by a 1/2 metre-thick layer of chavara and stone fallen from the roof. The clearing is begun.
