Large stone graves near Nateln
The megalithic graves near Nateln were two megalithic graves from the Neolithic funnel beaker culture near Nateln , a district of Rosche in the Uelzen district ( Lower Saxony ). They were destroyed in the 19th century. The two graves were located northwest of the place. They 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 emerges from the card signatures is that both had had rectangular giant beds . Only one grave was still preserved when von Estorff was taken, the second, southwest of this one, had already been destroyed. A burial mound had been located between the two large stone graves.
