1. Sherds. Morgan [1999], 469 ' ... a few Geometric sherds scattered nearby may come from these disturbed tombs. '2. Tomb. Morgan [1999], 469 'Three disturbed (empty) cist tombs were found in the course of rescue excavation ... slightly west of Corinth prison, close to the site of Korakou.'

NOTE
1. Morgan (469) simply says "Corinth prison". If I have chosen the correct prison then the distance to the graves may be rather less than 300 m.
