General Description

This isolated burial (plate XIIId) appears to have been robbed relatively recently. The construction is defined by 3 circumferential rings of medium-sized, shaped basalt, and occasionally tuff, blocks surrounding a slightly raised earthen mound. There are no signs of slabs that might have surrounded a cist suggesting that the burial chamber was a pit. A single large tuff capstone now lies at the bottom of the looted chamber. The chamber is 0.6m deep, 2.3m long, and 1.8m wide, oriented roughly north-south. Overall, the construction is 6.2m in diameter east-west and 5.2m north-south.
