According to Sprockhoff's research the original chamber length was approximately 20m. When he examined the site in 1926 only 5 orthostats (3 in situ) of the south-eastern, one (in situ) of the north-western long-side and one large , but fallen capstone were preserved inside some last remains of the barrow. Another stone in the south-west was interpreted as possible kerbstone of the enclosure.
