Tomb IGN34 is located in the southwestern corner of the southern sector of the main massif of the AlBanat necropolis. The facade, belonging to the half-crowsteps typology, is slightly set back by less than 1 meter on the right half and about 50 cm on the left half. The upper part of the facade protrudes from the plane of the cleaning trenches by about 10 cm, while the lower part of the facade remains unfinished, revealing the guide used for defining volumes. The facade features four half-crowsteps instead of the typical five, an Egyptian entablature with a simple cornice, and a rectangular entrance portal with an arched top. The threshold is approximately 20 cm lower than the small stone terrace in front of the facade, where a small, likely unfinished rectangular pit tomb has been excavated on the right side.

The inner chamber is unfinished and lacks secondary structures. It retains extraction blocks protruding about 50 cm from the floor. On the left side, there are two blocks: one is irregular and just over 20 cm high, while the other is a trapezoidal parallelepiped about 70 cm high. On the right side, the block furthest from the entrance is about 50 cm high and separated from the wall, while the one closer to the entrance is about 1.50 m long and still connected to the wall. The ceiling and counterfaçade are well leveled, while the back wall is only rough-hewn.
