The large stone grave Dänischenhagen was a megalithic grave complex of the Neolithic funnel cup culture in Dänischenhagen in the district of Rendsburg-Eckernförde in Schleswig-Holstein . The grave bears the site number Dänischenhagen LA 63. Its remains were discovered in 1969 during road construction work and archaeologically examined by Gottfried Schäfer during construction .
location
The grave was in the north of Dänischenhagen on the Nöhrenkoppel road.
description
The complex had an almost north-south oriented burial chamber , which was an extended dolmen with a slightly oval floor plan. The wall and cap stones had all been removed, but in 1969 Schäfer was still able to determine the footprints of all wall stones. The chamber originally had three pairs of wall stones on the long sides, a large end stone on the northern narrow side and a small end stone that occupied the western half of the south side and thus left access to the chamber on the east side. The standing pits of the wall stones were about 15 cm to 30 cm deeper than the chamber floor. The pit of the northern capstone was 2.3 m long and 1.2 m wide. Schäfer was also able to find traces of wedge stones of the wall stones on the chamber floor, remnants of the intermediate masonry from the gaps in the wall stones and a pack of rolling stones and stone slabs in front of the indentation of the south-western end stone. On the outside of the chamber remains of a casing made of clay and pebbles interspersed with burned flint remained . The chamber floor had a plaster, which consisted of a lower, 2-5 cm thick layer of reddish burnt clay and an upper, 5-10 cm thick layer of burnt flint. The burial layer above was only partially preserved. Two flint blades and an undecorated ceramic shard were found from the grave goods.
