description

Grave 1

The facility has a flat, round mound with a diameter of about 10 m. The chamber is east-west oriented and badly damaged. It is marked by a hole 6 m long and 4.5 m wide. Not a single stone is left in its original position; most of them lie broken inside the chamber. Due to the poor state of preservation, it is not possible to reconstruct the original appearance of the tomb.

Grave 2
