The site comprises a very large mound 30 metres by 22 metres orientated north west to south east although ploughing may have affected the original shape and size of the site. The chamber is estimated to be 6 metres long and of uncertain width. On the top of the mound there is a four metre pit with two orthostats. The site is 40 metres into a field from the road 200 metres to the south west of Högstena church.
