Coordinates:

Elevation:
 449 MSL

Notes:
 Large grave. Supposedly, this is an old saint’s tomb. Appears Islamic, by its form—but appears early, by the condition of its stones (therefore, it’s probably early Islamic). About 4.5m long, aligned N–S. Fire pit to the NE of the grave, but its relationship to the grave is uncertain. The above elevation reading is certainly wrong.
