The megalithic tomb was erected between 3500 and 2800 BC by people of the Funnelbeaker culture in the Neolithic period.
The grave was excavated in 1883 and given Sprockhoff number 682.
The tomb has an east-west orientation and measures ten by three meters.
It consists of eleven supporting stones which carry four capstones.
The inner chamber measures 6.2 by 1.65 meters and is still covered by a mound of earth near the supporting stones.
The entrance is located on the southern long side, slightly off the center.
It was built on a round hill which was raised during the Bronze Age for more burials and surrounded by a stone circle.
The floor of the inner chamber was covered with granite boulders.

Further investigation started in 1970 demonstrated that the tomb had been used in multiple phases.
Finds from the early Funnelbeaker culture were few.
Finds from the subsequent Corded Ware culture proved to be more numerous in the chamber and its surroundings.
In the early Bronze Age the hill was transformed.
The grave associated with the redesign had probably been destroyed accidentally during the 1883 excavation.
The arm rings found then could be probably considered as grave goods from that period.
In the early Bronze Age the hill was surrounded halfway up with a second narrow stone circle.
In the hill bed cremated remains were found that exhibit the usual burial custom of the time.
