description
The complex was probably an aisle grave . During his excavation, Lanting was able to determine that the burial chamber was about 5 m long and between 1.8 m and 2 m wide. It consisted of four pairs of wall stones on the long sides and one end stone each on the narrow sides.
Finds
Lanting's dig yielded only a few finds.
