In the passage grave on the Radberg (also megalithic grave named by Long) is a Neolithic passage grave with the Sprockhoff no. 873. It originated between 3500 and 2800 BC. And is a megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK). The passage grave is a form of Neolithic megalithic systems, which consists of a chamber and a structurally separated, lateral passage. This form can be found primarily in Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and Scandinavia, and occasionally in France. Neolithic monuments are an expression of the culture and ideology of Neolithic societies. Their origin and function are considered to be the hallmarks of social development.
The large stone grave on the Radberg is located in the forest south of Rentrup, a district of Langen , on the north side of the 57 meter high Radberg in the municipality of Lengerich in the Emsland district in Lower Saxony and should not be confused with the burial mound on the Radberg in Reken- Hülsten in North Rhine-Westphalia .
