Only one still visible clue can be mentioned at the present time: below the North-South wall of squared blocks, between the base of stones of the wall and the last course of bricks (9th) two stones can be seen: perhaps they should be interpreted as supports for a roof of slabs. It is equallypossible that these are stones of the foundation of the upper wall, which leaves the problem of the vault unresolved.
For the last 4 courses one counts a projection which can be estimated at 0,20 m, thus for a height of 0,43 m / 0,44. If the curve of the vault follows the same line one would have to suppose for a space of 1,20 - 1,25 m to cover, i.e. 0,60 on each side a height of 12 courses, i.e. 1,29 m high, above the 9th course of bricks, whose top already lies at 1,95 m above the floor. The vault would therefore end at c. 3,24 m above the floor of the chamber, which seems excessive in view of the dimensions of the neighbouring tombs (e.g. "tholos" 1442).
The roofing of the part of the chamber situated in front of the door can be specified with sufficient likelihood. In fact a stone of 1,59 long was found under the lintel, by 0,48 wide and 0,14 thick. This stone, probably of
