The chamber has preserved at least 16 orthostats and 5 capstones, but nearly all out of place as a result of historical destruction (or “examination”) attempts . The tomb measured approximately 11,5 x 4m [2] and is situated inside an eroded oval barrow. Only 4 or 5 kerbstones of the enclosure are preserved, while the others obviously were robbed.
