description
The grave belongs to the type of passage grave . It has a north-east-south-west oriented mound bed with a length of 55 m and a width of 8 m. Towards the northeast it becomes slightly narrower. The height of the mound is 0.8 m in the southwest and 0.4 m in the northeast. The surrounding stones are all missing, but there are still numerous signs of wear. The burial chamber is located in the south-western part of the Hünenbett. It has a length of 5 m, a width of 1.5 m and a height of 1.5 m. The chamber was excavated in 1949 by Willi Wegewitz and Ernst Sprockhoff . He found all of the wall stones in situ . Overall, the chamber has one end stone each on the narrow sides and four pairs of wall stones on the long sides. There is a gap between the two north-eastern stones on the south-eastern long side, which is adjoined by a pair of wall stones from the corridor. Only a fragment of the capstones was found, which probably belonged to the northeastern capstone.
Most of the finds could be attributed to the funnel beaker culture (TBK). The grave goods in the chamber come from the end times of this culture. From the pre-Roman Iron Age , fragments of an urn with a corpse burn were found in the hill .
