description
The complex, which was mistakenly used as a burial mound for a long time, is a large dolmen . By Ewald Schuldt and Hans-Jürgen Beier was mistakenly performed as destroyed. The wall stones of the burial chamber are all still preserved. Only one capstone has been completely preserved, but lies inside the chamber. The others are either scattered about or have been transported away. A flint chisel and a stone ax, which were found in Ranzow in 1906 and were initially acquired by a private collector, probably come from this grave. They later came to the Pomeranian State Museum in Greifswald via the Altona Museum in Altona .
