The tomb dates from the 4th century BC. It was built using the dry-stone technique from well-shaped rectangular stone blocks. It consists of a 20-metre-long corridor, two rectangular chambers and a circular burial chamber with a dome. The temperature inside remains constant at 18°C.
An interesting exhibition dedicated to the border troops has been arranged in the building of the former border post, next to the car park leading to the tomb.
