CharcoalBurner89 visited on 14th Mar 2021 - their rating: Cond: 1 Amb: 3 Access: 5 The condition of this stone grave can be seen as completely destroyed. There are no visible signs that it once existed here. Perhaps archological traces can still be made visible with an excavation. But the visible part is definitely destroyed.

Remains of a chambered tomb, probably completely removed nowadays.
When the site was examined in 1930 by Schroller and Schwieger, they found 7 remaining stones inside an eroded barrow.


None of the stones appeared to be in situ. Körner revisited the site in 1968 and could not locate it. Hence the remains of the cultural heritage probably were robbed after 1930. Located 17 m above sea level [2]
