The complex has a north-east-south-west oriented burial chamber , originally encased by a rolling stone hill , which Ernst Sprockhoff viewed as a polygonal dolmen , while Ewald Schuldt viewed it as an extended dolmen . Two wall stones on the long sides and the north-eastern end stone have been preserved. All are still in situ .
