description

There is no information about the exact shape, size and orientation of the grave. Bekmann only mentions several very large stones that did not show any structure as early as 1710, as parts of the facility for the extraction of building material had probably already been destroyed. Ceramic shards ("fragments of Urnis") are said to have been found.
