Skeleton of an East-West orientated 4 capstone passage grave. Chamber measuring appr. 7,7m by 2,3m. It is halfways filled with earth. Clear height less than half of the estimated original one.

Capstone C1 (counting from the West) is robbed, a fragment remained of C2 while the two eastern capstones nowadays are in situ (after restoration). Lateral entrance at centre of southern long-side. Dry-walling and intermediate stones gone missing.
