This is the best-preserved tomb of a cluster of three rockcut underground chamber tombs excavated in 1990 and 1991, during construction work on the south enclosure of the church. It belongs to one of the most important group of tombs of prehistoric and historical times of the cemetery of Kydonia. The tombs were dug into the suitable bedrock of this site.
The dromos of the present tomb is very steep. Its chamber forms an uneven circle and two low benches cut out of the rock on the north and south sides. It has an entrance from the east, blocked by dry stone walling and breached. It housed two burials, found in situ
and supine in the middle of the chamber, with the skulls towards the entrance. One of the burials was accompanied by eight clay vases of various shapes. The offerings of the second burial, along with a bronze blade of a knife, had been placed on the south bench, while another stirrup jar was found behind the skull of this same burial.
The bones of the deceased had completely decayed due to the damp. The burials date to the LM III A2- B1 period (1375-1250 B.C.).
The second tomb in the courtyard was of the same type, but smaller, with an incomplete chamber due to the poor quality of the rock and without burial traces.
The third had a longer road but its chamber had been turned into a refuse pit during the historical years. These two tombs are preserved underground.
