The chamber probably had a length of 13m and dates back to neolithic age 5500 B.P. It has been re-used in bronze age. Some remaining stones are thought to be capstones. According to Dr. Rothmann 18 megalithic stones are scattered around. (scroll down to the end of the page linked. Caldenhof is the last site described).
