The view along the gallery from the second chamber.
Note the asymmetric depths of the chamber sides. A wealth of flint tools were uncovered in this
chamber, including a javelin head, knives, scrapers and arrowheads. No bone was found, but if this
chamber had been used for inhumations as opposed to cremated remains, the acid soil would have
destroyed any trace of the unburnt bone. Along with pottery sherds, a necklace of 112 stone beads was found
 here, the presence of this personal item perhaps strengthening the argument for inhumation being the mode of
burial in this chamber.
