The large stone grave Badberger Sand was a megalithic grave complex of the Neolithic funnel cup culture near Dötlingen in the district of Oldenburg ( Lower Saxony ). It was destroyed in the 1960s. The system bears the Sprockhoff no. 946.

location

The grave was located just beyond the south-eastern outskirts of Dötlingen north of the Badbergsweg in a field. There are several other large stone graves in the vicinity: 1 km to the northwest are probably the last remains of the Steenbarg large stone grave , another 400 m to the northwest is the Dötlingen large stone grave (also known as the "large stone grave at the shooting range"), and the four are 1.2 km to the west Great stone graves designated as Glaner Braut and 1.3 km northeast of the great stone grave court place . Another grave was originally located 2 km southeast on Wellohsberg; it had to give way to a trajectory in the 1930s and was converted to small kneading (see Großsteingrab Kleinenkneten 3 ).

description

Around 1890 the complex still consisted of 14 stones, all of which probably belonged to the burial chamber . In 1929 Ernst Sprockhoff was able to make out a partially preserved mound in which the remains of the northwest-southeast-facing chamber were. He could make out eight wall stones and two cap stones. Only the north-western end stone and three of the seven preserved wall stones on the long sides were left in situ . A more precise reconstruction of the original appearance of the chamber was not possible for Sprockhoff. Due to its size, however, it must have been a large dolmen or a passage grave.

A map from 1930 shows stones lying around in disarray at the location of grave 13. In the same year the grave was added to the list of monuments, but was removed from it in 1933. In 1962 the remaining remains were released for disposal, which only happened a few years later.
