description
In the middle of the small forest there is a 48 m long barren bed also known as "Kæmpestenen" 
.
Around the approximately 48.0 meters long east-west-oriented, slightly trapezoidal long hill, 93 curb stones (almost completely but not in situ ) have been preserved. In the middle is the slightly inclined, free-standing chamber, a polygonal pole , which consists of four preserved supporting stones and a heavy capstone.
In the north of the forest there is a less well-preserved, approximately 24.0 m long long bed. The block box there lies diagonally in the giant bed.
The dolmens were placed under protection in 1920.
