description
During the excavation, the facility was almost completely destroyed above ground, so that it was initially mistakenly mistaken for a shallow grave . A pile of hills or a stone enclosure could not be determined. The burial chamber is an east-west oriented large dolmen . The lower part of the southernmost wall stone on the eastern long side and the pavement were still present. The chamber was divided into quarters by vertical stone slabs. A threshold stone was also found. After Ernst Sprockhoff's reconstruction, the grave originally consisted of three pairs of wall stones on the long sides, a capping stone on the northern narrow side and a short corridor consisting of a pair of wall stones on the southern narrow side. The threshold stone lay between the corridor and the chamber. The chamber was trapezoidal and had a length of 3.7 m and a width of 2.2 m in the north and 1.6 m in the south. The corridor was 0.6 m wide.
Burial remains were not found. Several ceramic vessels and flint or stone utensils were discovered on grave goods . The vessels were a double-conical hanging vessel, a fragment of a bowl, shards of a non-definable vessel, a fragment of another hanging vessel, the rim of a barrel vessel, several decorated shards and a handle vessel from the Havelland culture . Five axes , 16 cross-edged arrowheads , two blades and 24 blade cuts were discovered on flint tools . The only device made of rock was another ax.
