description
The complex has a north-south oriented megalithic bed with a length of 22 m, a width of 7 m and a preserved height of 1 m. All the surrounding stones are missing. At the north end of the bed there is a depression in which the burial chamber was originally located. No stones have survived here either. The size of the depression suggests that the chamber may have been a dolmen .
