The dolmen consists of three orthostats and a covering table. It is difficult to characterize its architecture because the building served as a dwelling and then as a stable. It leans against a slope which perhaps corresponds to the remains of the original tumulus. The cover table is 5.75m long, 3.55m wide and 0.75m thick. The orthostat on the north side is 2 m high, 1.50 m wide and 0.20 m thick. It continues to the west by a dry stone wall which does not appear to be original. The orthostat on the west side is slightly convex. It measures 2.55 m wide by 2.305 m high for a thickness between 0.40 m at the base and 0.30 m at the top. The south orthostat is leaned against the embankment. It measures 2.50 m wide, 2.40 m high and 0.35 m thick. A dry stone wall, pierced with two interior niches, connects the north and south sides.
The internal chamber measures 5 m in length by 3 m in width for a height under the slab of 2 m.
According to tradition, the building housed a spinner who threw her spindle extremely far and performed a superhuman work.
