The megalithic graves near Wallmow were probably three megalithic graves from the Neolithic Age near Wallmow , a district of Carmzow-Wallmow in the Uckermark district ( Brandenburg ). They were destroyed in the late 19th or early 20th century. According to Leopold von Ledebur , on the highest point of the Wallmow field mark , which corresponds to the Rollbergen, there were three apparently artificial hills that were largely untouched by 1845. There were three large stones in a row on the highest hill. No information is available about the dimensions, orientation and type of the grave. Finds have also not survived, so that a cultural classification is uncertain. It is unclear whether the two neighboring graves were also large stone graves, burial mounds or natural mounds.
Several other graves from the Neolithic Age are known from the area around Wallmow. These include two stone boxes destroyed before 1909 and 1932/33 and a stone packing grave destroyed in 1934 . According to Eberhard Kirsch, because of the similar description of the location near the Schwaneberg - Grenz and Wallmow - Rollberg crossroads, the latter could, however, be identical to the large stone grave described by Ledebur. Of surface finds one or two are Amazonenäxte known.
