Most orthostats (34 out of probably 42) are preserved, but nearly all are slightly out of place. According to Sprockhoff et al. this may be a result of excavation-activities in the early 19th century. The chamber most probably had 18 or 19 capstones. 7 complete capstones and a large fragments of a blown capstone are preserved nowadays. All remaining capstones are out of place. Despite all the destruction one still can imagine what an impressive monument it once was.
