Tomb IGN84 is part of the Proto-Hegra type 1 typology and is situated on the right side of the largest massif in sector III of the Khuraymat necropolis. Facing south, it is carved into an overhanging wall and is the highest tomb on this particular wall, occupying a central position. The facade is set back about 1.3 meters into the massif but protrudes only about 20 cm from the plane of the cleaning trenches. The tomb features two half-crowsteps, an Egyptian entablature consisting of a cornice and architrave, and two angular pilasters with Nabataean Corinthian capitals. The cartouche remains unfinished, and the door opening features an elaborate decoration with a simple pediment and tympanum. The lower part of the facade and the cleaning trenches show signs of erosion and scaling, and there are drill holes of doubtful date on the left pilaster.

The interior structure is square and regular, with an unfinished floor sloping slightly toward the back. The ceiling is about 1.5 meters high, and there are no funerary structures present. Some holes on the sides of the entrance indicate the presence of a door closure system.
