description
Grave 1
The largely destroyed complex has an approximately east-west oriented megalithic bed with a length of 20 m and a width of 9 m. There are only five stones left that lie on the mound and cannot be clearly assigned to the enclosure or the burial chamber . The exact type of grave is unknown.
Grave 2
Due to the heavy vegetation with thorn bushes, a more precise documentation of this system was not possible until now.
Grave 3
This facility could only be partially documented due to the heavy vegetation by Ernst Sprockhoff. Six stones from a burial chamber, probably oriented north-south, have been preserved. The exact dimensions and type of chamber are unknown.
Grave 4
This facility has a slightly oval, east-west oriented mound with a length of 16 m and a width of 14 m. In the eastern part of the hill lies the destroyed burial chamber. Five stones are still preserved, including a capstone. The exact dimensions and type of chamber are unknown.
