Visit Notes
| Prev Site | Next Site | This is a great wedge, despite being collapsed in the center. The chamber is over 7m in length (with signs of a portico), 1.3m tall and 1.6m wide. It seems to have been originally covered by just three roof slabs - two of which are still held aloft but slipping. The central one lies on top of the collapsed wall stones from that section.
There is, anoyingly, just a little too much brush and small tree growth to appreciate it fully. I feel a letter to the appropriate people coming on - these trees are seriously endangering the structure. |
