The large stone grave Görslow is a megalithic burial complex of the Neolithic funnel cup culture near Görslow , a district of Leezen in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district ( Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ).
location
The grave is located about 1 km east of Görslow in the Hohes Holz forest right next to a forest path. A few hundred meters to the east, there are three large collections of stones, which could be the remains of other large stone graves. About 3 km to the south was the large stone grave Raben Steinfeld .
description
The complex is oriented roughly north-south and, according to Ewald Schuldt, can be addressed as a chamberless giant bed . A pile of stones at the south end of the bed could, however, be the remains of a burial chamber .
