Notes:
 Long tomb, about 25m N–S, inside of an enclosure. Though the roof of the enclosure has long since collapsed, the site is obviously still used and maintained. The tomb’s northern orthostat has a Musnad inscription (I-36). In the vicinity there are a number of odd-looking structures that I suspect may indicate the reuse of Pre-Islamic structures.
