The tomb includes two ranks of rock pillars around a tomb. There are 10 rock pillars about 2.5-3 meters in height. The tomb has the parallelepiped shape, 4.2 x 2.7 meters size and 1.6 meters height.

There are many flat big rocks which is ordered balanced, sophisticatedly, scientifically and symbolize the civilization of ancient people. The tomb is one of the most featured heritages of “DolMen” type in Southeast Asia
