This impressive megalithic tomb of approx. 34 x 11-18 m (L x W) from the Funnel Beaker Culture (approx. 4100-2800 B.C.) is an extended dolmen with a trapezoidal mound bed, two partly 3 m high guard stones (of a total of four) and two burial chambers as a special feature.The discovery of an Arabic coin, an Umayyad dirham, and an Iron Age urn as a post-mortem burial in one of the burial chambers, which contained, among other things, a fibula and knife remains, was sensational. The coin, but also the recovered pottery from the southern part of the grave date to the Slavic period.
