Description Passage grave 2 viewed from the NE.
It has a slightly trapezoid chamber built of 14 orthostats (1 on each narrow side, 6 one each long side), clear size approximately 5m x 1,5m. Lateral passage to the SE, length 3m, built of 2 pairs of orthostats between chamber-orthostats SE3 and SE4. Nowadays all 6 chamber-capstones are in situ, but this is a result of the reconstruction. When Sprockhoff et al. examined the site in the 1920s all capstones of this chamber were missing. Under excavation lots of grave goods were found in this chamber as it was less robbed than the other chambers.
