Kaköhl 1 (Sprockhoff 218) aka Buschkate 1 is the best preserved tomb of the three tombs here. It is a long barrow oriented rougly north-south with a chamber facing the same direction. The length of the slightly trapezoidal barrow is 16 metres. The width is reduced from 8 metres in the north to 5.5 metres in the south. The chamber, measuring 6 x 1.5 metres, has six supporting stones on each side. Four capstones are still present, two are probably missing. The burial mound that once covered the long barrow is almost completely missing.
