The large stone grave Cismar is a megalithic grave complex of the Neolithic funnel cup culture near Cismar , a district of Grömitz in the Ostholstein district in Schleswig-Holstein . The grave bears the Sprockhoff number 285. It was archaeologically examined by Friedrich Knorr in 1914 .

location

The grave is located west of Cismar, on the northwestern edge of the Fiekenhörn forest near the municipality border with Manhagen .

description

The system has a round mound with a diameter of 12 m. A stone enclosure could not be found. The burial chamber is a small, northwest-southeast oriented extended dolmen with a length of 2 m and a width of 0.6. According to Ernst Sprockhoff , in 1961 there were still two wall stones on each of the long sides and one end stone each on the narrow sides, all of which were still in situ with the exception of the north-western wall stone on the north-eastern long side . The capstone was already missing. The southeast corner stone only took up half of the narrow side and thus left an access to the chamber at the southwest corner. The two capping stones seem to have disappeared or relocated in the meantime.
