The stone slab in the lower right of this image is actually the door. It is a perfect fit to the door opening. Look around the edges of the stone slab door and you can see the chisel marks made centuries ago by the builders as they worked the rock to achieve a perfect fit. This structure is composed entirely of stick and mud, unlike many in this region, which are constructed of stone. Looking through the open door, you can see an area where the mud in the back wall has failed, exposing the sticks that frame the structure.
