Description The massive 9 capstone chamber viewed from the North-West. Length is 21m, the width varies from 4m to 5m. Only one out of twenty-one orthostats is missing. Seven out of nine capstones [1] are preserved, but due to historic destruction attempts (including the removal of all smaller stones and the complete drywalling) the chamber largely collapsed. Only capstone C7 still is resting on its orthostats.
Two other visitors in the background.

[1] according to examination by Sprockhoff et al.
