The large stone grave of Byhusen is a megalithic grave complex of the Neolithic funnel cup culture near Byhusen , a district of Farven in the district of Rotenburg (Wümme) ( Lower Saxony ).
location
The grave is located southeast of Byhusen about halfway to Farven on the edge of a field. There are several burial mounds in the vicinity . Up until the 19th century there were four other large stone graves to the southeast near Farven , one of which was on the border with Byhusen and therefore very close to the local stone grave.
description
At the border of two fields, near a high seat and in a hedge, over a distance of about 50 m, there are several boulders, which are probably the remains of a large stone grave. It may be the stones surrounding a barren bed. According to Johannes Heinrich Müller and Jacobus Reimers , it was almost completely destroyed by the 1890s. Ernst Sprockhoff erroneously ran it as completely assumed.
