dc.descriptionDescription: Partially preserved, partially cleared tomb. Crowning the square tomb chamber was a 2.55 m diameter dome, now largely collapsed, supported on four arches and roughly formed pendentives. Under the arches are niches 1.95 m broad; those to the north and south are 0.68 m deep, that to the west is 1.12 m deep, and the entrance vault to the east is at least 1.85 deep. The dome is built of heavily mortared, thin split stones, while the walls and arches are built of cut petit appareil blocks. A possible burial gallery for a single internment extends northward from the northern sidewall of the western niche. The top of the gallery is at the level of the springing of the arch; it is 0.45 m wide and extends at least 1.65m to the north. ** Some traces of the outside walls are also seen. On the north side, the 0.70 m-thick wall of a possible forecourt or enclosure extends a further 2.50 m to the east of the entrance passage, and the exterior of the walls of the tomb chamber are seen to the north and south, 4.65 m apart.en_US
