dc.description | Description: Well-preserved rock-cut (earth-cut) gallery tomb, with petit appareil masonry dromos; almost entirely cleared; in a gently sloping field; no superstructure visible. The dromos (pres. L: 3.30 m, pres. H: 2.10 m, W: 0.90 m) descends at a 25-degree slope. The walls and ramped vault are built in petit appareil masonry for the first 2.50 m, while the remaining 0.80 m are rock cut into dense clayey earth, reddish-orange in color and filled with small quartz and schist inclusions. The ceiling of the tomb chamber is approximately 3.0 m below field level. The dromos is centered on a roughly square chamber, approximately 5.0 m per side, with an essentially flat ceiling that curves down at the corners, cleared to a maximum height of 1.80 m above the floor. Five wide shallow arched niches are carved into the walls; one is opposite the entrance (W: 2.35 m, D: 0.65 m, pres. H: 1.40 m), and two each in the side walls (W: 1.75-1.90 m, D: 0.55-0.60 m, H of NW niche: 1.20 m). To either side of the entrance are two niches or galleries (W: 1.25-1.30 m, pres. H: 0.90 m) that extend at least 2.0m back into the earth in the direction of the dromos. | en_US |
