Description
In 1958 the graves were enclosed by protective earthen walls several

metres high. They protect the gravesites from shell damage, because

the site is located in the middle of a military training area.



Grave A



Grave A comprises four supporting stones along the sides and another

stone at each end. On the supporting stones are three capstones, the

middle one of which is considerably narrower and has been broken.

The inside dimensions of the chamber are 6.5 x 2 m. The entrance is

in the middle of the southeastern side,

but only the pair of supporting pillars are left.
