    Beyond the large rock to the south-east of the Built Tomb is a large rock-cut niche (1.9 meters wide, ca. 1.2-1.3 meters high and 0.5 meters deep), and a number of small ones, probably used for votive reliefs. There are remains of an entrance gate leading from the west into the area.

It has been suggested that this area shows similarities with monuments sacred to the goddess Kybele. No excavation has been undertaken here.
