The megalithic graves near Gogolewko (also called megalithic graves near Neu Jugelow ) are at least three megalithic tombs from the Neolithic funnel beaker culture near Gogolewko ( German Neu Jugelow ), a district of Gmina Dębnica Kaszubska in the Pomeranian Voivodeship in Poland . However, they are located in the municipality of Gmina Potęgowo (German Prillwitz ). Graves 1 and 2 have the Sprockhoff numbers 595 and 596.
location
Graves 1 and 2 are located about 3 km northeast of Gogolewko not far from each other in a wooded area. Your location already belongs to Gmina Potęgowo. Further north is a third grave. According to Ernst Sprockhoff, the remains of other large stone graves could be in the vicinity. 2.3 km north-northeast of grave 3 are the megalithic graves near Łupawa (megalithic graves near Lupow).
description
Grave 1
The complex has a northeast-southwest oriented trapezoidal barn bed with a length of 18 m and a width of 6.5 m in the northeast and 4 m in the southwest. Only remains of the stone enclosure are preserved. The eastern corner stone is 1.3 m high. The remaining stones are significantly smaller, on the south-western narrow side they hardly protrude from the earth. A burial chamber cannot be made out.
Grave 2
This complex has a north-west-south-east oriented burial chamber with a length of 3 m and a width of 1 m. Originally it probably consisted of three pairs of wall stones on the long sides, one end stone each on the narrow sides and a maximum of three cap stones. The south-eastern end stone, the adjoining wall stone of the southwest long side and the three wall stones of the north-eastern long side are still preserved. On the northeast side, the middle and northern stones are still in situ , the southern one has tipped into the interior of the chamber. It is unclear where the original access to the chamber was. This means that the exact type of grave cannot be determined with certainty.
Grave 3
From the third grave only a few stones have been preserved, which are scattered over a larger area. Presumably it is the remains of the enclosure of a giant bed.
