description
The north-south oriented long hill with round ends has lost about half of the curbs, especially on the now rounded narrow sides. Only three stones are in situ , the rest are tilted outwards. Approximately in the middle, parallel to the longitudinal axis and to each other (which is rare), there are two ancient dolms without cap stones. The two dolmens consist of long boulders on the long sides and short ones on the narrow sides. The straight surfaces point inwards.
Finds have been made in the eastern chamber. The dead lay on their back (which is rare) and was surrounded by grave goods. Among them were new hatchets, three flint tools and parts of a flask .
