The newly discovered chamber tomb 'L3', on the left of 'L2', received a protective cover above its chamber in 2022. 'L3' is a chamber tomb with collapsed ceiling but of really tremendous dimensions, much larger than any tomb in the upper cemetery.

Well hidden in the landscspe of the lower cemetery hill is 'L4'. It is a chamber tomb not yet (2023) excavated, but a hole in the ceiling allows a look into the thalamos with some rubbish that accumulated there.
