Description The beautifully situated remains of a chambered tomb near Osnabrück viewed from the SE. According to Jacob-Friesen, Sprockhoff and Schwieger the chamber originally had 4 capstones, 4 uprights on each longside and a size of appr. 8m x 3m (clear 6m x 2m).
Capstone 3 (counting from the West) still rests on its orthostats. C1 is robbed/destroyed, C2 fallen into the chamber and overgrown, C4 probably was blown to pieces, some fragments inside chambers' eastern end possibly originate from it.
