Descrizione
Morfologia
Small concavity formed beside a block and which protects the access to a short ramp that forms an inner chamber about 3 metres long. It seems that the original cavity was no more than a jumble of blocks and was excavated to enable the collective burial.
Altri dettagli
The inner chamber has been excavated and where the remains of 33 adult individuals and 10 children and remains of the grave goods have appeared.
Storia
Discovered accidentally by M. Calvet in 1976, who brought it to the attention of J. Vert, a scholar of the area, who began the first excavations.
