A survey in 2007 and an investigation by the State Office for Monument Preservation revealed a 23-meter-long, boat-shaped burial chamber, of which the supporting stones, some of the long sides and some of the capstones have been preserved. Many stones have been deliberately destroyed, and in some cases holes for explosive charges can be seen. The position of the former entrance to the interior of the burial chamber could not be determined. Based on the ceramics found, the creation of the grave could be dated to around 3200 to 2950 BC.
