description
Grave 1
This facility has an approximately east-west oriented megalithic bed with a length of 28 m and a width of 4 m. Only a few stones remain from the enclosure. A burial chamber cannot be seen.
Grave 2
This system has a north-south oriented oval mound with a length of 5 m and a width of 2.5 m. There are five stones on it, which no longer allow any reliable conclusions to be drawn about the original appearance of the burial chamber.
Grave 3
This facility has an approximately east-west oriented megalithic bed with a length of 20 m and a width of 5 m. There are still some stones left from the enclosure, especially on the southern long side. On the mound there are still some stones that may belong to the burial chamber. However, their exact position and appearance cannot be determined with certainty.
Grave 4
This system has a pile of hills that is 6 m long in north-south direction and 5 m wide in east-west direction. At the southern end of the hill there are five stones, which are probably three wall stones and two cap stones. One of the capstones has a bowl . The original appearance of the burial chamber can no longer be determined.
Grave 5
This system has a northwest-southeast oriented oval mound with a length of 6 m and a width of 3 m. There are two stones on it that no longer allow any conclusions to be drawn about the original appearance of the system.
Grave 6
This facility has a north-east-south-west oriented megalithic bed with a length of 40 m and a width of 14 m in the north-east and 18 m in the south-west. The hill filling is interrupted in the middle, possibly there are also two separate systems. In the southwest there are three stones with blast holes, which presumably belong to the burial chamber. The exact appearance of the chamber is unclear.
