description
The system had a pile of mounds with a diameter of at least 10 m and a height of 2 m. A stone enclosure could not be found. The burial chamber was a small, east-southeast-west-northwest oriented passage grave with a rectangular, almost square floor plan. The length was between 2.3 m and 2.8 m, the width between 1.8 m and 2.2 m and the height 1.2 m. There were two wall stones standing close to one another on each side of the chamber. The gaps between them were filled with drywall. Cap stones were missing. The entrance to the chamber was in the middle of the north side. In front of this was a corridor with a length of 2.4 m and a height of 1 m. The corridor originally consisted of two pairs of wall stones, of which only the rear one remained at the time of the excavation. A closure plate was also found. A threshold stone lay between the two wall stones on the north side of the chamber.
