Great stone grave Heiligenhagen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The large stone grave Heiligenhagen was a megalithic grave complex of the Neolithic funnel cup culture near Heiligenhagen , a district of Satow in the Rostock district ( Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ). It was destroyed in the 19th century. Its exact location is not known. There are also no details about the orientation, dimensions and type of the system. It is only passed down that it was a "large barrow", "on the northern side of which there are several smaller ones". It is unclear whether this meant other large stone graves or burial mounds . Bronze objects have been found a few hundred meters east of the tomb .
