The chambered tomb was located in Elte, which is a city district of Rheine (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany).
Nothing is known about the appearence of the tomb. Because another chambered tomb is still well preserved in Rheine (Rheine Megalithgrab), it can be speculated, that it had been built in a similar manner.
