After the excavation work in 1936/37 Kleinenknetener Steine 1, has been restored, as it may have looked 5,000 years ago. The approximately north-south oriented passage grave has a complete enclosure (the Hunebed) and consists of 85 boulders and a covering mound, which includes 1,200 m³ of earth. It was calculated that this task could be done with 100 men at ten working hours per day in 3.5 months.
The Hunebed is 49 meters long and 7 meters wide. Almost all the stones have been preserved. In the middle, the chamber is in the same orientation as the Hunebed. The burial chamber is framed by eleven stones carrying one original and two complementary capstones.
