Chamber appr. 8,5 x 2,5m (clear 7 x 1,6m) orientated East-West. Originally with 5 capstones (2 missing), 12 orthostats (one is missing) and a lateral passage (3 orthostats left, capstone/s and one orthostat are missing) at chamber's southern side.
The 3 remaining capstones are out of place, so the tomb looks rather destroyed, although all other stones are in situ except for one of the passage orthostats.
The chamber is nearly completely filled with earth. Only the upper parts of the orthostats are visible.
As the small road leading along this tomb has a good quality nowadays, access has become even more easy since my last visit in 1989.
