Great stone graves near Tangendorf

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The megalithic graves near Tangendorf were probably two megalithic graves from the Neolithic funnel beaker culture near Tangendorf , a district of Toppenstedt in the Harburg district ( Lower Saxony ). They were destroyed in the 19th century. Their exact location is not known. The first grave was on an artificial elevation and had a capstone 6 feet thick that rested on several wall stones. The exact type of grave cannot be determined from this information. The second system was in a paddock . She too was on an artificial hill. Here, however, there is only information on a capstone with a length of 2.33 m and a thickness of 0.6 m; Wall stones are not mentioned, so the classification as a large stone grave is not secured.
