Pit no. 3 east. The fill of this tomb comprises two parts. 1) an older part, formed alternately of alluvium and of limestone fragments fallen from the vault. In this filling, men have dug a large hole, coming from the east access - 2) these robbers have roughly backfilled the opening, by tipping the earth they had removed from the tomb, in which one finds pottery and bones jumbled together and broken
