description
Grave 1
The facility has an elongated mound, oriented approximately north-south, with a length of 20 m and a width of 13 m. There are numerous blasted stones on the hill. The orientation, dimensions and type of the burial chamber cannot be reliably determined without a closer examination.
Grave 2
This system was still relatively well preserved when Sprockhoff took it up in 1933. It had a roughly north-south oriented rectangular barren bed with a length of 21.5 m and a width of 7 m. The mound was still 1 m high. The enclosure was no longer complete, but several stones were still preserved on all sides. North of the center of the bed was the burial chamber. It was a north-south oriented passage grave with a length of 6.5 m and a width of 1.5 m. There were five wall stones on the western and six on the eastern long side and one end stone each on the narrow sides. Of the original five capstones, one lay dragged to the northwest of the chamber and two more lay blown up inside. The entrance to the chamber was in the middle of the east side. In front of him was a corridor with a pair of wall stones. After the Second World War , all the stones in the facility were removed and processed into road gravel. Today only the mound remains, on which additional earth material was tipped. A high seat was also built on the hill .
