description
During an excavation carried out in 1868, a burial chamber of an indeterminate type was found, which still had five outwardly inclined wall stones and a capstone that had slipped into the interior of the chamber. The capstone was 10 feet long and 5 feet wide. During the excavation it was blown up and moved aside. The spaces in between the wall stones had spandrel masonry made of small stone slabs, some of which consisted of granite and some of red sandstone . The chamber was filled with sand and humus , but no pavement could be found. In the humus layer remains of a human skeleton were found in a poor state of preservation. The only addition was a flint found -Bruchstück, perhaps by a chisel came.
The current state of the grave is unclear. Ewald Schuldt and Hans-Jürgen Beier list it as destroyed, but in the state monument list it is recorded as preserved.
