description

The complex is described as "a megalithic grave surrounded by large stones". Information on dimensions and alignment is not available. It was a chamberless giant bed ; Ewald Schuldt led it, probably by mistake, as a passage grave . The burial site had no built-in stone walls or ceilings. Only the floor was paved with red sandstone slabs in a cross shape.

The remains of five ceramic vessels were found on the pavement. In an ash layer next to the paving several animal bones, including remnants of a lay horses skull , and two flint - axes and a piece of pyrite . The fragments of a cylinder neck bowl and a bowl are still preserved .
