Two pillars divide the chapel into two parts. In the area behind the pillars three burial shafts are dug into the floor.
* Shaft no 1350 contained a skeleton. Foot prints of a man and a boy were found in the area around the body. These presumably belonged to the grave robbers who violated the burial chamber in antiquity.
* Shaft no 1351 was a simple pit.
* Shaft no 1352 contained a [limestone](/source/limestone) [sarcophagus](/source/sarcophagus) which was placed against the west wall.<ref name="SH"/>
