The third tomb of Wötz / Leetze, counted from the north. The barrow is located in the middle of a field. According to Krause / Schoetensack these are the remains of a 30m x 8m Long Barrow, with 13 kerbstones on each long side. In the corners, a typical feature of the Altmark Long Barrows, comperative huge stones (Wächtersteine). In the north end, a 6m x 1.5m chamber. Two stones look like sunken capstones.
