The large stone grave Battin was a megalithic burial complex, presumably of the Neolithic funnel cup culture near Battin , a part of the municipality of Brüssow in the Uckermark district ( Brandenburg ). It was probably destroyed before the 20th century. The original location of the grave has not been confirmed. The old windmillAt the northern exit of the village, parts of large stone graves (presumably capstones) were built, although it is not clear whether these were already found there or were transported from another location. Burial remains that were discovered in the Mühlenberg speak in favor of the former. At a depth of 1.2 m, human skeletal remains and a vessel fragment that probably belonged to a funnel beaker were found. Body graves and a settlement from the Roman Empire were also discovered at the same site . The finds ended up in the Prenzlau Museum and are now lost.
1 km southwest of Battin was a funnel-shaped block chamber grave .
