New text by 'holger_rix' (9-2010):
Chambered Tomb in NE-SW orientation.
Most likely it was build with four uprights on both of the long sides of the chamber.
On the NW long side are two uprights in situ.
The other long side also has two stones in position.
Three sunken capstones, the SW one is bursted from explosives.
(That is more or less the description in Sprockhoffs Atlas,
based on Schwiegers visit in 1932)
Now the tomb looks like a weird stone collection.
