description
The roughly 35.0 meter long and 6.5 meter wide rectangular barren bed has only an incomplete border around the 60 centimeter high earth dam. Almost all the stones on the eastern long side are missing. The southern end is also badly disturbed, the curbs of which are tilted outwards. The approximately 6.5 meter long chamber is located at the southern end of the bed. She still has almost all the bearing stones in situ . One of the original five capstones is on top, a second has fallen into the chamber. Presumably it is a passage grave .
