description

Grave 1

The complex has a trapezoidal, east-west oriented mound bed . The stone enclosure has a few gaps, but can be easily reconstructed on three sides, only the western narrow side is completely missing. The enclosure has a length of 17 m and a width of 9.5 m in the east and 6 m in the west. The mound is well preserved. The burial chamber , which is probably a large dolmen , stands across the bed and is badly damaged. Only the northern capstone, 2.3 m long and 1.5 m wide, has been preserved, under which a cap stone and a pair of wall stones may still be hidden. The rest of the chamber is only indicated by a hollow. Originally it probably consisted of three yokes. Their dimensions can be estimated at 4.5 m in length and 1.7 m in width.
