The megalithic tomb features two parallel entrance passages leading to a central chamber divided by large stones beneath an earthen mound.

Excavations in 1797 by governor Antoine de Bosc de la Calmette with fifteen workers revealed human remains, flint weapons, and amber jewelry.

The burial structure demonstrates the advanced engineering capabilities of Neolithic societies through its precise stone placement and architectural design.

The passages measure 7 meters in length and allow visitors to enter by crouching, while the central chambers extend 4.5 meters.

The tomb contains two separate entrance passages oriented eastward, making it different from typical single-passage graves of the period.
