Enclosure: orientated North-South. Dimension approximately 12m x 5,5m. As the kerbstones on both narrow sides already were missing when von Estorff examined the tomb its original length is unknown. According to v. Estorff's drawing from around 1846 10 kerbstones were preserved.
Western long side: 4 kerbstones; Eastern long side: 6 kerbstones (all in situ)
Chamber: Most probably a 4-capstone chamber, length approximately 5m. Von Estorff's drawing shows 4 orthostats on the western and 3 orthostats on the eastern long-side. While the northern chamber-endstone was preserved in situ its counterpart in the South already was removed just as all capstones.
