Remains of a large 25m long chambered tomb orientated NW-SE. Originally covered by 13 or 14 capstones. It is heavily damaged by explosives and only 3 capstones are completely preserved. By the time of Sprockhoff's examinations it was largely embedded into remains of the eroded barrow, but a recent excavation in 2007 revealed that most orthostats are still preserved, but deeply embedded into the ground. Unfortunately the lateral entrance section seems more disturbed (or was not fully excavated) so the length of the assumed entrance passage is uncertain.
