Associations: Monument 2.

Drawings: None.
References: Stirling 1943; de la Fuente 1973.
Carved Areas: None.
Material: This monument was not tested by Williams. However, there is nothing about it to suggest that its material is any different than that of Monument 1.

Description: Monument 4 is a high cylindrical basin with swelling sides and a severely chipped rim.
Remarks: No evidence of fire was reported by Stirling, but the basins of this monument and Monument 14 suggest a relationship with stone basin incensarios found in Guatemala at Kaminaljuyu and other sites.
