description
Grave 1
Grave 1 with the Sprockhoff number 735 has a round mound with a diameter of 10 m. The burial chamber is badly damaged. It can be recognized as a deep hollow in the hill in which there are still six stones. One of them is a capstone. Two of the others are still in situ . These are wall stones on the eastern long side, from which it can be seen that the burial chamber is oriented north-south. The original position of the remaining three stones is unclear.
Grave 2
Grave 3 with the number 734 has an oval, approximately north-south oriented mound with a length of 15 m, a width of 10 m and a height of 1.5 m. There is an excavation on the north side. Two wall stones on the eastern long side are visible at this point. The rest of the burial chamber is still completely covered by the hill.
Grave 3
Grave 3 with the number 733 has a north-west-south-east oriented mound with a length of 20 m, a width of 10 m and a height of 2 m. Two cap stones and seven wall stones are still preserved from the burial chamber, of the latter the end stone of the north-western narrow side, the adjoining wall stone of the south-western long side and a stone of the north-eastern long side still stand in situ. In its original state, the burial chamber probably had five pairs of wall stones on the long sides and just as many cap stones.
