description
Grave 1
The complex originally had a pile of mounds of which only remains are left. A stone enclosure never seems to have existed. The burial chamber is oriented approximately east-west and has a length of 3 m and a width of 1 m. It originally consisted of four pairs of wall stones on the long sides and one end stone each on the narrow sides. The end stones and three wall stones on the south side are in situ . Two wall stones on the north side have been dragged north. The remaining wall stones and all cap stones are missing. Two larger explosives could represent the remains of capstones. It is unclear where the original access to the chamber was. It is therefore not certain whether the complex can be referred to as a large dolmen or a passage grave. When he was admitted in 1934, Ernst Sprockhoff discovered that the chamber had been ransacked. He found numerous ceramic shards in the area around the grave.
Grave 2
This complex originally had a mound of which remains can still be seen. A stone enclosure never seems to have existed. The badly damaged burial chamber is oriented east-northeast-west-southwest and has a length of 1.8 m and a width of 0.9 m. It originally consisted of two pairs of wall stones on the long sides, one end stone each on the narrow sides and two cap stones. It can therefore be referred to as an extended dolmen . There are only three stones left. The western wall stone on the south side is still in situ. The other two stones are relocated wall stones.
