The unfinished tomb IGN46 is located on the west side of the North sector of the AlBanat necropolis. It was intended to be one of the largest tombs, with a final height of about 40 meters. The tomb features very large unfinished half-crowsteps crowning the upper level.

The background area between these half-crowsteps has an opening carved at the center, and the façade was provided with a rain drainage channel. The area where the tomb was carved appears to be geologically stable, which contributed to the preservation of the tomb’s features.
