The pit may have been for a simple child/infant inhumation, with the human remains totally dissolve or disintegrated. Another similar cutting, at right angles, probably from another burial. A further cutting, just to the south, roughly rectangular, oriented east-southeast to west-northwest, measured 0.95m in length, 0.53m wide, and 0.47m deep. The floor of the pit comprised unhewn fieldstones packed closely together.

Oriented southeast-northwest, the tomb measured 1.40m long and 0.65m wide at the top, narrowing with depth. The bedrock forming the edges of the tomb pit was stepped in to provide an irregular ledge, running round all four sizes. maximum width of the pit  at the bottom was about 0.30m. a partial lining of fieldstones was bedded on the ledges; the uppermost stones were interrupted at the southeast corner by an irregular recessed pocket containing two lekythoi.; Skeletons fully extended, heads to the southeast. Lower skeleton  was described as a ""six-year-old girl"" with arms bent over the body. The upper skeleton with arms extended at the sides was considered as perhaps also a girl, about 7 years old. In the process of restudying the human remains, the lower skeleton could not be located, and it may not have been saved.; All of the grave goods were found either around or above the upper skeleton. A quantity of water-worn pebbles, were also recovered from around the upper skeleton. Also, ""black carbonized matter"" and "" small thin animal bones"" were noted. The latter were thought to be from a sacrificial animal or animals, but the bones were not analyzed,nor were they saved.; The two bodies were probably inhumed at the same time. this is supported by the fact that the skeletons, both well preserved, were neatly laid out on top of each other with no earth separating them.",""
