description
The complex, which is probably a passage grave, is in very poor condition. It has a large pile of hills, which, however, has been heavily ransacked. You can still see the outlines of the burial chamber, which is oriented northwest-southeast and is about 6 m long. The end stone on the south-eastern narrow side and a wall stone of the access, which is located on the north-eastern long side, are still in situ . Several more stones lie around the burial chamber, but their original position can no longer be determined.
