Unfortunately, there is no sign pointing to this megalithic tomb, although it is well preserved and not difficult to access.

The east-west oriented chamber lies in the remains of a 17 × 7.5 meter oval enclosure, which is particularly well preserved on the north side. The chamber measures 12.3 × 1.6 meters. Almost all supporting stones and seven out of eight capstones are present. The middle and largest capstone is made of red granite. The memorial stone next to it broke cleanly in two halves. An excavation took place in the complex in the 19th century. In 1820, H. Bödiker found a flint ax and a deeply engraved bowl.
