Tomba della casa ("tomb of the house") - this large tomb consists of a droms and 10 chambers. Its name derives from the central chamber which has a ceiling carved into imitation of a roof of the hut.
Tomba delle spirali ("tomb of the spirals") - another milti-chambered tomb, it consists of a dromos and six chambers. The antechamber is decorated with two corniform motifs and a spiral motif.
Tomba III - this large tomb survived in poor condition, its antechamber has partly collapsed.
Tomba IV - this small tomb consists of the main chamber with two niches and a small chamber to its right.
Tomba V - this tomb was partly re-modelled, it is accessible through a rectangular opening and has a channel which probably served to drain water.
Several other rock cut tombs were completely re-modelled.
