Description
The chambers' remains viewed from the SE. The NE longside and the NW chamber-end are well preserved while the Southwestern longside is lost except for orthostat SW4. The chamber end in the NE is robbed as well, but according to the examinations by Schroller, Sprockhoff, Körner and Schwieger [1] it probably was a "Holsteiner Kammer" with 4 capstones and a lateral entrance at the SW long-side.
Chamber length appr. 8m.
The stone marked "X" does not appear on Schwieger's drawing, probably it is orthostat NE5, that still was in situ in 1968.
