NOTES
1. Marker placed approximately at Meyer's position I in Meyer [1991] map VIII. Åström [1965] 108 remarks on more wall remains to the SE from here and by the edge of the scarp but which are not on Meyer's map. There is more discussion of these walls and a slightly different position in ADELT 1972: 290.
2. A primary source for the cemeteries in this area is Borgna and De Angeli [2020]. See the valuable map on p. 147, Fig. 8.1.1 (inset) which maps all the tombs.
