Pyre refuse-described as "ashes and cinders etc"- was encountered throughout the tomb pit, below, around and above the urn. although there is no specific mention of a trench, Young's description of the tomb suggests that a rectangular trench, with a maximum length of about 0.80m and a preserved width of ca. 0.60m, was cut through earth into bedrock. consequently, the tomb appears to be a classic example of an Athenian trench-and-hole, oriented east-west,with the urn-hole at the east. There was no clear evidence that the tomb as a whole was sealed in any way, and any tomb covering would have been destroyed by the construction of the mudbrick foundry.

Disturbed and damaged cremation (originally trench-and-hole), the east end cut away, probably contained the burial urn. JP It consisted of a rectangular trench cut through hard-packed fill and slightly into bedrock to a depth of 0.48m. the trench oriented east-west, had a preserved length of 0.70m and a width of 0.60m. The east end where the cinerary urn would have originally been located in an urn-hole, was almost completely cut away by the Hellenistic water channel that skirted the tomb to the south. evidence of heavy burning, in the form of reddened earth, was noted on the ground around the mouth, rim, floor and three sides of the trench. The preserved east end, built up from redeposited green schist bedrock streaked with reddened earth, may have been a barrier between the destroyed urn-hole and the pyre trench, constructed after the fire had subsided.

The western part of the offering trench of the tomb was lost to a Turkish cess pit, and disturbances at least as early as the 7th c. B.C. had cut away the upper part of the cinerary urn and the adjoining trench filling. The tomb was found directly below a Classical wall. What survived was the south and east section of the original grave, including a strip of the pyre trench, reddened from burning to a depth of 0.05m, and below it a shallow urn-hole, roughly square, ca. 0.60m to the side, cut through earth almost to the level of bedrock, to a depth of about 0.30m.
