The dromos was at least 2.20m long with a width of 0.80 to 0.90m tapering upward to 0.60m, and preserved to a height of at least 1.05m. |

Tomb found when workmen were clearing the bottom stratum of the foundations of the Stoa colonnade at its northern end.

The chamber is an irregular rectangle, oriented roughly N-S, with dromos leading in at a very gentle slope from the north. ... It seems probable that the tomb collapsed before burials were made in it (the lower 1.80m of the tomb contained only collapsed bedrock and no sherds.) and perhaps the dromos may have been used as a sacrificial pit of some sort |

Mycenaean Chamber Tomb J 1:11, located in the area north of Wall K, was partially excavated during the 2014 season. At this point the full western extent of the chamber has not been located because of a dividing baulk and a possible second chamber or passage appears to open at the northeast. ... The ceiling collapsed over the center of the tomb in antiquity, but large segments are preserved along the walls indicating that the chamber was at least 1.25 m high.

Mycenaean Chamber Tomb opposite ΣΑ pier 15. It was discovered about 20m to the west of Pier 15 of the Stoa of Attalos and almost in a line and a few meters south of Tomb XX. although the entire upper part had been cut away in Classical times, leaving only the lowest o.50 to 0.80m., and a Classical pit had cut away the northwest corner of the chamber, the burials were remarkably undisturbed and the chamber could be planned and measures. the dromos opening to the northeast, was short and steep and irregularly cut. it was 0.70m wide and was preserved to a length of 1.50m; a few stones of the blocking wall of the doorway remained.
... One lay along the east side with head to south and legs doubled up; another in the center with feet toward the door; and a third at the back of the chamber. |

The northern part of the tomb had been cut away by the foundation trench for the south stylobate of the Square Building that preceded the Stoa, and the dromos, if one existed, must have been lost in this operation. The chamber was small with an original east-west dimension of 1.60m and a preserved north-south dimension of 1.20m, the walls preserved to a maximum height of 0.90m. ... Although it might be argued from the single internment and the absence of any preserved dromos that this was a pit grave, the location of the body along the edge of the cutting would seem rather to indicate a small chamber tomb that has been cut away at the north. |
