The large stone grave Ahndorf is a megalithic burial complex of the Neolithic Funnel Beaker Culture (TBK) near the Ahndorf district in the district of Lüneburg , Lower Saxony, which belongs to the municipality of Boitze . It bears the Sprockhoff number 720.
location
The grave is located southwest of Ahndorf in a forest, right on the border with the Uelzen district . In the same forest there are the megalithic graves at Lemgrabe to the northwest and the Gross Thondorf 1 megalithic grave to the southeast .
description
The facility is badly damaged. It has a flat mound. The burial chamber is oriented roughly east-west. It has a length of 9.5 m and a width of 3 m on the eastern and 2.3 m on the western narrow side. There are still twelve stones left, none of which are in their original location. A reconstruction of the original appearance of the system is therefore not possible.
