The structures are entirely built of stone, with the front lower than the back and the walls rising stepwise. The front wall consists of six carved lattice panels connected by eight square pillars. A gateway is set within the wall, formed by a threshold and drum stones, with a double-eave hip-and-gable roofed stele pavilion erected in front of the tomb mound. (Fifth Batch)
