About 6 metre tall and 6 metre wide Tholos with 1.5 metre wide and 4 metre tall entrance. There are three large megalithic blocks above the entrance. The interior is beehive shaped with extremely well made rectangular blocks for the corbelled structure. The tomb is built into the side of the hill with hardly the trace of a tumulus.
There is a strange large round stone with an indentation around the outside edge. If it isn't an altar of sorts, someone placed an unusual millstone in the tomb. There is a further rectangular stone with a square indentation loose at the back of the tomb as well as a pit where some excavations took place.
About 1 km from the Tiryns fortress.
