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. |
