Description:

Located in the subterranean kitchen was a shrine. Initially, the cult space possessed a cult painting on the north wall which disappeared prior to Boyce’s recording. In front of the painting sat an altar. As the layout of the underground rooms is not mapped, the exact location of this cult space is not certain.
