The complex has a north-west-south-east oriented burial chamber . It is a large dolmen with a length of about 2.3 m and a width of 1.6 m. Three wall stones have been preserved on each of the long sides as well as a terminal stone that occupies the western half of the north-western narrow side. A second stone in the northwest and the southeast end stone are missing. Of the two original capstones, only the northwestern one has survived.
