Nothing was found in it; cleaned in modern times and used as a cesspool. Some of the SW part of it had also been cut away in Roman times by a terracotta drain. All that remains of the chamber is a small segment with a maximum preserved dimension of 1.20m, which is bordered on the north by a modern wall and on the east by a cesspool. The cutting is not straight either in vertical or horizontal section, which shows that the chamber was circular in plan and probably roughly semi-circular in section. The chamber is hewn out of the soft clayey bedrock of the hill and its sides are not walled. Its diameter may be estimated at about three meters, its height at about two. It must have been from the north as the hill slopes downward in this direction, but everything was cut away in modern times if not earlier. A terracotta Roman drain cuts across the chamber from SE to NW and its bottom is slightly below the floor of the chamber.; The objects were found lying on or just above the floor of the chamber, close to the wall. They were broken and lying in disorder and pieces of bone, badly decomposed, were mixed in with them. There was also a number of small stones at one point.","","Deposit",""

It consisted of a roughly rectangular pit, with the corners slightly rounded, oriented approximately north-south. The pit was cut to a depth of at least 0.45m at the south end and 0.25m at the north on account of the sloping bedrock. The original depth of the tomb would have been at least slightly greater, since the bedrock around it was leveled in Late Roman times, if not earlier. The tomb pit measured 1.65-1.70m long by about 0.63m wide; the floor of the tomb was at 68.30-68.40 masl., 1.65-1.70m long by about 0.63m wide; the floor of the tomb was at 68.30-68.40 masl.; Within the pit, the well-preserved skeleton of a woman aged about 40-44 years at death was found laid out in a fully extended position on her back, head to the south. The left arm was across the waist, the right reaching up over the chest; the head was rolled over onto its right side, facing east.; A substantial Late Roman wall ran across the tomb, covering but not disturbing the skeleton from mid-thigh to  instep; the bones were recovered by tunneling. The fill was redeposited crushed bedrock. There was no trace of any tomb covering, nor were there any clear ledges, despite the fact that the sides of the tomb sloped slightly toward the floor.","John Camp","Deposit",""
