description
The burial chamber is a north-east-south-west oriented large dolmen . Ernst Sprockhoff suspected that the chamber originally consisted of at least four yokes. But only the north-eastern half of this remains. In situ there are still two wall stones on the north-western long side, one on the south-eastern long side, the north-eastern end stone and the north-eastern cap stone. Another wall stone on the southeast side has been moved. The capstone is damaged. It has a length of 3.4 m, a width of 2.5 m and a thickness of 1.5 m. The width of the chamber is 1.6 m.
