BC and consists of a chamber and a structurally separated, lateral passage. This form is primarily found in Denmark, Germany and Scandinavia, as well as occasionally in France and the Netherlands.

The roughly 2.2 m high edgeless hill measures 22.5 m × 21.0 m. It contains the west-east oriented remains of an either rectangular or polygonal chamber of a passage grave . The eastern part of the chamber is best preserved, with three supporting stones in situ , which are at a more or less obtuse angle to each other. A fourth stone can be a capstone remnant. A pushed-off or blown capstone lies on the north side of the chamber. Another bearing stone, almost covered with earth, can be seen southwest of the chamber.
