The large stone grave Ahlhorn (locally also called "Bakler Berg") with the Sprockhoff no. 933 was created between 3500 and 2800 BC. And is a megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK). Neolithic monuments are an expression of the culture and ideology of Neolithic societies. Their origin and function are considered to be the hallmarks of social development.
description
On the south-western edge of the eastern settlement of Ahlhorn lies a heavily damaged large stone grave . The stones of the burial chamber are missing, so that the type cannot be determined. The remaining 23 border stones (in 1896 there should have been two more) are not all in situ . There are large gaps on the north and west sides. The barren bed, the mound of which can still be seen, is said to have measured 30 × 6 meters.
The large stone grave is integrated into “Route 8” of the archaeological adventure routes “Fascination Archeology”. In 2008 the plant was freed from overgrown vegetation.
