Burial Chamber (Dolmen) in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania

Dolmen in NE-SW orientation, with entrance at the west corner.
The chamber is set with four uprights, two bigger ones on the long sides.
In the west corner is a gap, two stones of the passage are also in situ.
One capstone, 1.8m x 1.5m x 0.8m, is resting on the chamber;
another, smaller one leans outside against the chamber.
