About 400 meters from the entrance, on the right (northern) side, there are three monolithic tomb blocks. Local Bedouins believed that they were the dwellings of jinns (spirits) or cisterns (as-Sahrij). The latter apparently has more to do with the external shape than just the shape, but could be of older origin.
