Large stone graves near Haarstorf
The megalithic graves near Haarstorf were two megalithic tombs of the Neolithic funnel cup culture near Haarstorf , a district of Natendorf in the Uelzen district ( Lower Saxony ). They were destroyed in the 19th century. The graves were located southwest of the village and were probably close together in an east-west direction. The facilities were documented in the 1840s by Georg Otto Carl von Estorff , but not described in detail. No information is available on the orientation, dimensions and type of grave. The only thing that can be seen from the signature of the card is that the eastern grave had a rectangular barren bed . The western grave does not have its own card signature.
