By the time of the first examination several upright-set slabs were preserved, subdividing the chamber into at least two parts. Similar subdivisions are known from several other funnel-beaker locations. Nowadays the chamber is halfway filled with earth, but a gap (missing dry-walling) between orthostats and capstone in the North facilitates a view inside. The massive northern part below the northern capstone has a rectangular ground-plan, while the SE edge is rounded, as the southern orthostat in the east is set in an angle of approx 45° to its neighbour in the North .
