The dolmen near Pelevun, oriented in an east-west direction with its entrance at the east, consists of a big burial chamber, a narthex and a dromos (corridor), all with a rectangular shape. Its total length is 7.5 meters. The dolmen was built in a hollow place in slightly rising grounds, pre-prepared for that purpose. Separate and roughly shaped gneiss blocks, upright and dug into the rocky soil make up the dolmen. At the entrance of the monument, an original facade was formed from two vertical blocks, rounded on the top, flanking the entrance from north and south. The single block found fallen in front of the entrance probably covered it. A 2.8-meter corridor follows the entrance. Its walls are long, vertical stones. The north wall was built up with three rows of horizontal plates were laid down on top of it. The chamber before the burial chamber is wider, shorter and higher than the dromos. After the wider and shorter chamber is the burial chamber. Its walls are built from 2.75m long stone plates. The floor is covered with one huge stone plate.
The chamber and the antechamber were probably covered with horizontally placed huge stones. The corridor was most likely not covered and the architectural plan of the dolmen is unusually complex and uncommon among the similar monuments studied in Bulgaria. The monument may have been built and used by the Thracian tribes after the 5th Century BC (Late Iron Epoch). Its architectural plan is similar to the Thracian mounds built during that epoch. The dolmen was used for burials of members of the Thracian aristocracy clans in that region and is evidence for the development of a state organization among the Thracian tribes.
