Pyre refuse-described ... Late PG/EG I ... Probable trench-and-hole. JP Roughly circular pit measuring 0.39m in diameter cut into bedrock to a depth of 0.72m. 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.
