description
At the time of the survey by Ernst Sprockhoff in 1930, the system consisted of an east-west oriented oval mound of 20 m long and 17 m wide. In the middle of the hill there were six stones in a shallow hollow, none of which were in their original positions. The grave was later restored, whereby the stones were arranged so that they now represent the closing stones of the narrow sides and three wall stones on one side and one on the other long side.
