description
The plant has an east-west oriented, originally covered with a roll cairn grave chamber after Ewald Schuldt as passage grave is to address. The wall stones are all still there. The long sides each have six stones, all of which are in situ apart from the western side of the south side . The latter fell over inside the chamber. The eastern capstone has overturned outwards; the western one has been blown up, but the remainder is still in situ. Five of the original six wall stones are still preserved. The most easterly is carried away outside the chamber, the next one has sunk into the interior of the chamber, the third is missing, the fourth lies slightly shifted still on the wall stones, the fifth has broken and the most westerly sank into the chamber. During an excavation in 1908, Robert Beltz found a pavement made of flat stone slabs and burned flint . The chamber has a length of about 8 m and a width between 1.8 m and 2 m.
