Wild Life Area

The Wildlife Area necropolis is located northwest of the site and contains a single tomb, identified as IGN139, situated on an isolated rocky massif about 2 metres above ground level. The rock face hosting the tomb has undergone significant vertical scaling, exposing the underlying rock layer and causing the almost total loss of the tomb’s front section. This event likely occurred before the graffiti was painted on either side of the tomb. The stability of the rock face is precarious and requires continuous monitoring.
