Barrow/cairn (diameter 25m) containing a partly well preserved passage grave. The chamber is orientated approximately NE-SW and measures 6 x 2,5m.

Western long side has preserved 4 orthostats one of which is damaged. The Northern narrow side is built of one large orthostat. The 5m long lateral passage in the SE is partly well preserved. Both passage long sides are built of 4 orthostats. One passage capstone is preserved.
This passage grave obviously was very similar to the nearby and better preserved Gillhög. Reference: Riksantikvarieämbetet, Site examined by Hansen, F. in 1930
