Tomb - To the S. W. stands a well preserved tomb, with
cubical structure entered by a doorway in the
east, and roofed with a steep pyramidal roof.

This is interesting as being the southernmost
of the preserved pyramidal tombs in the region.
The angles of the structure are ornamented with
pilasters and mouldings are carried around
the base and below the roof.

In the vicinity of the town are a number of
interesting sarcophagi with lighter lids than
the common six horned type - with low blunt
gables and small horns at the angles.
The feature here is the use of heavy square
monolithic piers to flank the sides.
