description

The facility is located 700 m southeast of Lehbek at a fork in the road. It is a heavily disturbed , north-west-south-east oriented megalithic bed , of which seven stones are still preserved. One on the northwest narrow side and six on the southwest long side. The burial mound still reaches a height of 1.50 m in places, but is badly disturbed so that its dimensions of 22.50 m long and 5.00 m wide are only estimates. In the northern half, the chamber is in the form of a transversely extended dolmen . Three wall stones have been preserved from it, two of which are bearing stones on the northwest side and a keystone on the northeast side. The entrance was probably on the southwest narrow side. The chamber originally had a length of about 1.60 m, and a width and height of 1.00 m. Ernst Sprockhoff lists the grave under number 36 in his Atlas of Megalithic Tombs.
