The complex has a trapezoidal barren bed , which originally had an enclosure, of which Ernst Sprockhoff was able to identify a stone in situ on the north side in 1931 and two stones that had been dragged to the northeast. The east-west oriented burial chamber was apparently mistakenly regarded by Ernst Sprockhoff as a passage grave , Ewald Schuldt , however, saw it as a large dolmen . It was 7 m long and 1.7 m wide. In 1931, Sprockhoff found the western end stone, the adjoining wall stone on the northern long side and the second wall stone on the south side in situ. The second wall stone on the north side fell into the interior of the chamber. At the western end there was also a blown capstone that had slipped to the south and was 2.2 m long, 1 m wide and 1.2 m thick. There is no longer a stone in situ. There are also numerous fragments lying around.
The construction of the Christianization memorial in front of the St. Nikolai Church in nearby Gützkow in 1928 is partly responsible for the severe destruction of the complex , as some stones from the grave were blown up for this. This was accompanied by an examination of the grave. The finds came to the Ernst Moritz Arndt University of Greifswald . The excavation has not yet been published.
