This passage grave is the biggest in Scandinavia, andthe chamber is 16 x 2.5 metres, and the passage is about 11 metres long. One of the wall stones in the chamber is over 6 metres long.

This passage grave, together with Klövagårdens gånggrift, Logårds kulle and Haragårdens gånggrift is north of the road, while the farms is on the south. It has been accepted that this configuration has been the same since the stone age, which makes the road Sweden’s oldest that is still in use.
