Approximately East-West orientated chamber measuring approximately 12,5m x 3m. It became partly in historic times. Three out of originally 8 capstones are completely preserved, but fallen into the chamber as well as fragments of two other capstones (blown to pieces).

Except for one orthostat in the NE, all orthostats are preserved, but some are slightly out of place as a result of the destruction activities. The chamber is halfways filled with earth. Dry-walling and intermediate stones are robbed.
