Megaliths 3 and 7 each had a legged terracotta sarcophagus covered by a capstone flush with the cairn packing. The former was laid into a pit along with a few pieces of pottery and was encircled by boulders in a smaller area without any e.-w. orientation. The grave goods consisted of two coiled bracelets of iron and a very few skeletal remains such as fragments of a bone (radius) and desiduous tooth, probably of a youth. On the outer side of the sarcophagus 13 pots were found. Megalith 7 had a four-legged sarcophagus oriented n.-w. to s.-e. The capstone was without circle stones and rested on boulders 20 cm above the old surface. The sarcophagus, 54 × 34 × 49 cm, had holes at the bottom. With the exception of four small cups of Black-and-red Ware it did not reveal any object. Various shapes in pottery were found between the lid and the capstone. They included the dish, bowl, lid and ring-stand, besides a few pots.
