Approximately in the middle is the well-preserved, recessed chamber of a polygonal hollow with access in the east, which the TBK bearers between 3500 and 2800 BC. Built. It is formed by five supporting stones, between which the intermediate masonry has been preserved, and the large capstone. The sixth, eastern stone is smaller and acts as a threshold stone , so that a 0.6 m high opening between its upper edge and the lower edge of the capstone forms the access . The capstone protrudes on the side of the corridor from which two stones have been preserved. The chamber was filled with earth.
