description
The relatively well-preserved complex has an east-west oriented burial chamber with a length of 6 m and a width of 1.6 m. In its original state, it had four wall stones on each of the long sides, two end stones and four cap stones. The four northern wall stones and the two end stones are still in situ . A total of three wall stones have been preserved on the south side, of which the eastern one is still in situ, the other two are only slightly shifted from their original locations. Only two of the capstones have survived. The eastern of the two (originally the second from the east) still rests in its original position. The second capstone fell inside the chamber. According to Ernst Sprockhoff's reconstruction, the complex is a passage grave that had an entrance in the middle of the southern long side.
