The Großsteingrab Hohenkamp (also Großsteingrab Noer-Lindhöft ) is a megalithic tomb of the Neolithic funnel cup culture , which was originally located near Lindhöft , a district of Noer in the Rendsburg-Eckernförde district in Schleswig-Holstein . It bears the Sprockhoff numbers 104 and the site number Noer LA 27. Road construction work required an archaeological investigation of the facility by Gottfried Schäfer in February 1966 and a subsequent relocation in the vicinity of Schnellmark , a district of Altenhof .
location
The grave was originally located east of the Hohenkamp farm belonging to Lindhöft, directly south of the Bäderstraße. Its new location is 3.2 km west-southwest in Schnellmarker Holz, about 300 m northeast of the megalithic graves near Altenhof .
There are numerous other large stone graves in the immediate vicinity of the original site : the large stone graves are 1.6 km southwest at Behrensbrook , 1.9 km east-northeast the large stone graves at Lindhöft and 2.9 km east the large stone graves at Noer . The destroyed megalithic stone graves were located 2.3 km south-southwest near Neudorf-Bornstein .
description
This complex has a north-south oriented burial chamber , which is an enlarged dolmen with a length of 2 m and a width of 1.6 m. There are two pairs of wall stones on the long sides and the northern end stone. About two thirds of the south side is taken up by a stone slab, while in the eastern third a transverse slab extends up to about half the height of the wall stones and allows access to the chamber. Of the original two capstones, only the northern one has survived. It has a length of 2.2 m, a width of 1.4 m and a thickness of 0.8 m. The wall stones are between 1.3 m and 1.4 m high and between 1 m and 1.2 m wide. They stood in pits about 0.3 m deep and were strongly inclined towards the chamber. The gaps between the wall stones were filled with cracks and small rolling stones .
The original mound around the chamber was largely destroyed. During the excavation, however, it was found that the pits of the wall stones on the outside were filled with clay and larger pebbles . Above that, up to about a third of the wall stone height, was a layer of burned flint , which was interspersed with ash and charcoal . This was followed by an approximately 10 cm thick layer of clay, which was interspersed with small pieces of flint. Above this was humus soil, in which numerous larger pebbles were found, which originally perhaps formed a mantle around the chamber.
The chamber floor had a multilayer plaster. At the bottom there was a 10 cm thick layer of clay. Above that followed a layer of stone slabs and small rolling stones that sloped slightly from south to north. This was followed by an approximately 5–10 cm thick layer of burned flint and over it loamy sand. The chamber was filled with humus sand interspersed with pebbles. The chamber pavement and the outside of the chamber were badly disturbed by robbery excavations.
Burial remains could no longer be found during the excavation. A flint ax was found in the layer of loamy sand in front of the southern wall stone on the west side. In front of the northern stone on the west side lay the shards of an ornate, bowl-like shoulder vessel.
