The facility had a flat mound made of small field stones. The burial chamber was oriented north-south and had a rectangular floor plan. According to Bekmann, it had two pairs of wall stones on the long sides and a closing stone on the northern narrow side. The southern narrow side was open. The stones on the long sides were each 2.5 feet (about 0.75 m) in length , and the end stone was 3.5 feet (about 1 m) wide. The height of the chamber was 3.5 feet (about 1 m). The ceiling was made of two large flat stones. The southern one was the larger and was 24 feet in circumference. The north capstone was 17.5 feet (about 5.3 meters) in circumference. Based on this information, the facility was probably an extended dolmen .
