The large stone grave Bockholm (also called Steenhy ) was a Neolithic grave complex near the district Bockholm of the municipality of Glücksburg in the district of Schleswig-Flensburg , Schleswig-Holstein .

description
The facility was on the road from Rüde to Bockholm and is now completely plowed over. Further information can be obtained from the description by Pastor Harries from 1842. Accordingly, it was probably a rectangular, north-south-oriented megalithic bed about 60 m long and 10 m wide. The chamber was believed to be a polygonal pole of extraordinary size. The wall stones had a height of 8 feet (about 2.50 m), the capstone had a circumference of 43 to 44 feet (about 15 m - this corresponds to about 4.5 m in diameter) and a thickness of 5 feet (about 1 , 50 m). A 6-foot long corridor led into the interior of the burial chamber. The chamber itself was eight feet long, wide, and high. It was paved and divided into two sections by a series of low stones . Ernst Sprockhoff lists the grave under number 21 in his Atlas of Megalithic Tombs.
