When comparing the situation in 2009 and 2011 with the drawing of Schwieger it becomes obvious, that two orthostats were robbed (or became covered) after 1926 and the structure is even more damaged nowadays. Nevertheless the site still is impressive. A secluded spot with great ambience. Access is only possibly outside growing season.
Remark 2009: Interestingly someone reused the tomb. There is a modern ring of boulders inside the chamber and someone planted daffodils on the remains of the barrow. I guess the landowner buried his dog there.
Remark 2011: The modern stone setting seems removed.
