Tomb IGN106 is located in the Sanie necropolis, Sector II, on the east side of the massif facing northeast. The rock wall is characterized by severe alveolization due to air currents and erosion from rainwater percolation. The entrance is about 1.3 meters above ground level, and the tomb consists of a single circular burial chamber that appears unfinished.
