This building, which measures 3.4 from ENE to WSW by 1.76m transversely overall, comprises a single compartment half sunk into the ground with a doorway and a window at the rear (NNW) and an opening on the SSE that spans the entire width of the front. All the openings are blocked. The flat roof (0.27m thick) slopes from the rear to the front where it projects to form a canopy. To the rear of the compartment, also sunk into the ground, is an unroofed vestibule which is approached from the WSW by a rock-cut path 6m in length by 1.1m in width and up to 0.7m in depth.
