description
Grave 1
Grave 1 is a small, badly damaged, approximately north-south oriented extended dolmen , which was originally encased by a rolling stone hill. Four wall stones and a blown capstone are still preserved from the burial chamber . The south-eastern wall stone is certainly in situ , probably also the north-western wall stone and the northern end stone. The latter only took up half of the northern narrow side, so that Ernst Sprockhoff suspected the entrance here.
Grave 2
Grave 2 is also a north-south oriented, enlarged dolmen originally encased by a rolling stone hill. This system is also only present in remnants. Several stones can be seen, including three wall stones standing in situ.
