Description POSI | Dromos roof has collapsed; it faces northwest. At 2.0 m wide, the dromos seems wider than the other dromoi on the ridge. The chamber is still roofed, 1.6 m high; its floor is roughly circular, 2.2 m in diameter. No visible niches. Roof is approx. 1 m below the surface of the bedrock. Entrance to chamber is supported by modern wooden scaffolding. Modern roof made of corrugated tin and metal rebars used to cover dromos; also remnant of hose in dromos - was this used to pen goats? No - we spoke to the sculptor who lives below - he used it for a greenhouse. Says it's been collapsed for at least 10-20 years. |
