According to Sprockhoff:
A dolmen located in the area of Schwinge at a place that can no longer be determined.
Stone chamber facing east-west, surrounded by a stone enclosure. Von Hagenow states the following condition: four uprights on each of the long sides, a capstone on each end, three colossal capstones, the largest on the west end. The drawing indicates four capstones, the eastern one is broken.
The tomb was originally in a mound with a stone circle 34 feet long (= about 11 m) and 12 feet wide (= about 3.80 m). The width of the chamber was 9.5 feet (= 2.80 m). The length is not given, according to the drawing it will have been 23.5 feet (= 7.40 m).
Excavation report see R. Baier pp. 28f.
