description

According to Friedrich Schlie , the grave still existed around 1900. It had a north-south oriented megalithic bed with a length of 27.5 m, a width of 7.5 m and a preserved height of 1.4 m. The stones of the enclosure had already been removed. No information is available about a burial chamber or the lack of one. The exact type of grave cannot therefore be clearly determined.

In the area around the grave, several bronze objects are said to have been found while plowing , but they are believed to have come from overgrown burial mounds .
