Description Only 2 of the original stones were left in 1951.
The barrow had about 60 stones each side before, and 5 stones on the front.
The only basis for the rebuild was a 300 year old sketch. This sketch was done in a strange way, the barrow was laid out in an exact rectangle.
I have seen other sketches of that age (about Albersdorf) and there the graves also were drawn with exact rectangular shape, not in the rounded and stretched form they really were.
Anyway, the stone rows here are set up like they used an alignment laser.
