The grave is located 2.5 km southeast of Daerstorf in the State Forest Rosengarten. About 470 m to the southwest, also in the state forest, is the Elstorf large stone grave .
description
The complex consists of an approximately east-west oriented long hill with a length of 55 m, a width of 10 m and a height of 1.2 m. There is a depression in the eastern part. At this point Willi Wegewitz carried out an excavation in 1950 and came across the remains of the burial chamber. He found a paved chamber floor and the footprints of three wall stones on the northern long side and the end stone on the eastern narrow side. About a meter south of its original position was a wall stone on the south side. The burial chamber had a length of 4.2 m and a width of 1.8 m.
