Description The entrance:
Between the second and the third upright at the SW-longside there is a typical gap where the lateral passage probably led into the chamber.
These two uprights are slightly out of place and have inclined towards the chamber. Maybe this is a result of the destruction-attempts and the fact that the chamber lost all smaller stones, that (in many cases) originally were inserted between uprights and capstones.
An effect of this inclining is a significant sinking of capstone No. 2 and 3 (counting from NW end).
Inside the chamber a support for capstone No.2 was built in former times [January 2008].
