description
It is an approximately east-west oriented, largely covered by vegetation, extended dolmen about 2.5 m long and 1.4 to 1.2 m wide, which lacks all (two) capstones. The long sides each have three bearing stones, of which the middle one is missing on the north side. The two keystones are in situ . The bearing stones that have been preserved are mostly incomplete because the upper parts were blasted off. A drill hole can be seen in a stone. The chamber is located in a still clearly recognizable, oval mound, which is missing all the curbs.
West of Dedelow 1 is a smaller burial mound, Dedelow 2 ( Lage ). However, this facility is completely destroyed.
