The tomb has a flat top and features a deep cyma recta moulded cornice. The north face is obscured by lichen, while the sides consist of unadorned slabs. The east and west ends are inscribed, although the inscriptions are largely illegible. On the north face, part of the inscription reads "Prepare to die for their ------," which is still discernible.
