description

The approximately 2.0 m high long bed is approximately 14.0 m wide at its widest point. The north-west-south-east oriented long bed may have been shortened at the narrower north end by plowing. The hill tapering occurs evenly towards the north. Today the widest point is in the middle of the hill.

The large dolmen is about 6 m north of the southern end . The chamber consists of six orthostats and two cap stones. There are no traces of the corridor. The chamber of the enlarged dolmen measures approximately 2.5 m by 1.0 m. The bearing stones are made of different materials: one is very coarse, the other very fine-grained. Loose rubble lies between the orthostats . 21 fallen curbs of the hill, some of which are hidden in the ground, have been preserved. It is uncertain whether the hill was plowed. The trapezoidal long bed is the most striking of its kind on Lolland.
