Description
Overview from the East showing the 27m passage grave and the double oval enclosure. The 51 kerb-stones of the outer enclosure are larger than the at least 60 of the inner enclosure. Nearly all kerb-stones are preserved, but partly overgrown or deeply embedded in to the sandy ground. The 3m long lateral passage is located at the centre of the southern long-side. While the two pairs of orthostats are preserved in situ the passage capstones slipped into the passage. These and other damages are most probably caused by historic "excavations". May 2010
