At P. Felceto, a Roman tomb carved into the rockface has broken away from the cliff behind it and slipped a little downhill. The façade, only slightly tapered, stands nearly three metres tall, though its false door and crowning mouldings have vanished from the front. These details survive on the right side: a sequence of torus mouldings, a steeply-profiled ‘beak of an owl’, and a worn fascia. On the platform, a large, softly-rounded plinth rises near the right flank, but what once topped it is now buried entirely. The dromos, the tomb’s entrance passage, lies almost in line with the façade and leads through an arched doorway into a long, roughly rectangular chamber, about three and a half metres wide and over eight metres long. Benches line the irregular walls, each with raised edges, their surfaces a mere eighty centimetres from the ceiling. A small recess is cut into the left wall near the rear, and a few large tufa blocks remain in the back right corner.
