The garden tomb lies outside the current city walls and near a quarry (now a bus station). Speaking to Peter, who is on the council of the U.K. Organisation that runs the site, it has all the features of Jewish execution site where Jesus was crucified and buried. They do not claim anything - but rather point out the similarities between the site they have found and the description in the Bible.
I had previously got the message when visiting the Church of the Holy Sepulchre that " it was not here". So instead of loading up the codes there, I was drawn to the garden tomb.
There was a great spot under a tile roof near the tomb.
This is an old photo of the hill face near the Garden Tomb - which looks like a Skull and may have been the reason why Calvary was also called Golgotha ie the place of the Skull.
