little info from the internet:

The pagan sacrifice table - a large stone tomb of Nordic megalithic architecture - is laid out in an east-west direction and without a border; there is no evidence of overhilling. There were once seven supporting stones on one long side and six on the other. Two of the former three capstones are still there. The pagan offering table has the largest and heaviest surviving capstone of all large stone graves in Oldenburg: with a size of around 5 m × 3 m, the relatively flat capstone is said to weigh around 40 tons. It was originally significantly larger (7.0 m × 3.0 m × 1.2 m), because at least two pieces were demolished in the early 19th century and used as building material. The burial chamber is approximately 10.0 m × 2.5 m in size and there is no evidence of a surround. The entrance, of which no stones have been preserved, was probably in the western part of the south side.
