Reckum (1) submitted by Martin_L : Pole aerial from the West. The 16,5m by 3m-4,5m 9-capstone chamber is partly damaged by blasting attempts and removal of drywalling and smaller stones. The two western capstones (C1 and C2) and their orthostats are robbed. The site is heavily overgrown and situated in a field. Hence it can only be appreciated outside growing season.
