The megalithic graves near Harmstorf were several megalithic graves of unknown number from the Neolithic funnel cup culture near Harmstorf in the Harburg district ( Lower Saxony ). They were destroyed in the 18th or 19th century. The graves were between Ramelsloh and Harmstorf, on the western bank of the Seeve . According to Christian Schlöpken , at the beginning of the 18th century there were still several artificial mounds, some of which had stone enclosures and stone burial chambers . It is possible that some of the complexes were burial mounds without built-in stones.
