'...traces of a rectangular chamber running N and S came to

light, the walls widening as the excavation proceeded downwards,

and after reaching a depth of three or four feet the work was

continued longitudinally, which revealed the entire length of the

chamber. Up to this point debris consisted of slabs of various

sizes, earth, and animal remains. At a depth of about 6ft lateral

recesses, five in number, were discovered, one of which

subsequently proved to be the end of the entrance passage'.
