The chamber had four cap stones, one of which has been preserved and is on top. The 10 bearing stones on the long sides and the keystone in the north have been preserved.

The dolmen has two bearing stones on each of the long sides and the keystone on the narrow side. Access to the south is only fragmentary.

It is a chamber 1.2 m high, 2.4 m long and 1.2 m wide. The system does not have a Sprockhoff number. The chamber had two capstones (a large and a small one - there may be an ancient dolmen with access from above) none of which has survived. The five bearing stones and the marginal remainder of an entrance have been preserved. The red-glowed plank consists of clay screed.
