Located 400m West of Sandun Dolmen inside a bushy copse. That site is visible on topographic map. It is a trapezoidal long barrow 72 m long, 12 m wide on East side and 8 m wide on West side. Totally surrounded by granite standing stones 1,60 to 2,30m high.
This megalithic site is similar to kerbed funnel-beaker long barrows in Denmark and Germany.
