Context Title: PG/1236     
Context Name (Publication): PG 1236 (Royal Tomb)     
Context Description: A large stone-built chamber (limestone rubble) with 4 inner rooms. In this it is very similar to the layout of PG/779. A looter's hole had caused a collapse at one end and much damage throughout the tomb, but architecturally this large chamber was better preserved than many others. Contents, however, were meager owing to ancient looters. Woolley believed this had been the tomb of a king, with attendants in some of the chambers. He traced the side of the pit more than 7 meters above the chamber and believed that a mud brick building above that had been a kind of chapel for rituals after the burial.
