There was an ear-lug pot in the filling of the dromos but this was destroyed by a shepherd and no longer exists. Pottery vessels 9-10, 12, 22-23, 25 and 27 are also missing and spindle whorl No.15. There had been two burials in the chamber, an earlier one being cleared away to leave room for a later. See card 1951.1074
