Hull fragment preserving one of the extremities. The post has a moulded ridge on the outside of the hull. On either side of the gunwale near the post there are traces of attachment. It is possible that there was a transverse beam there that is now missing. There are traces of dark paint inside the hull. On the outside of the hull near the post are five transversal bands of dark paint.

The chamber tomb itself dates to a period prior to the construction of the town. There are no traces of burials. In a subsequent phase, the tomb was emptied and reused for an unknown purpose (sanctuary?) which coincides with Period I of the town (LC IIC). This was followed by the construction of a well with a shaft. Early in LC IIIA (Period III of the town) the tomb was adapted as a refuse pit. It is to this phase that the boat model belongs, and it is therefore out of context.
