description
The Urdolmen is parallel to the broader end of an almost north-south oriented, trapezoidal barren bed , the border of which is still almost complete on the long sides. The dimensions of the giant bed are 13 m × 5.5 by 4.0 m. The chamber opening to the south is 1.8 × 0.8 m in size, around one meter deep and has 3 bearing stones, two lying on the long sides and the northern keystone. No statements can be made about the type of access . The only capstone is divided roughly in the middle and the remaining half lies on top. The dolmen examined by Ewald Schuldt in 1968 has not been found.
