Everstorfer Forst Nord 5 is an extended dolmen of which only three large supporting stones and numerous small stones remain. The supporting stones appear to be in situ, making it possible to reconstruct the dimensions of the chamber. The capstones are no longer present.
Despite its ruinous state, the site still functions as a clear waypoint along the row — the long barrow of Everstorfer Forst Nord 6 lies about 40 m further west, while looking back east, the long barrow of Everstorfer Forst Nord 3 is visible roughly 70 m away in the background.
