Description:   Mycenaean Chamber Tomb SE of Stoa Pier 12 (Burial 8).
Roughly rectangular, measuring 1.70m by 1.40m, and was cut down to within 0.65m. by the construction of the Square Building. A rectangular cutting at the northwest corner may have been the entrance, although this cutting may be later; the southwest corner of the chamber appeared to have been unfinished.
Across the north end lay the single skeleton of a child with head to east, lying on its back with knees doubled up. The body was laid on a thin layer of brown clay. No offerings and no trace of bones were found in the rest of the chamber, which had been somewhat disturbed in Classical times.
