Visit Notes

Sunday, 4th May 2003

I do not know the true number of this site so I have given it 52a to indicate that it is next to 52.

Like tomb 53 this is one of the oldest on the site and therefore one of the oldest in Europe. It is a bit rougher than 55, because it seems to have been interfered with. It too is like a flattened boulder burial.
