Jelmstorf large stone grave

The Jelmstorf large stone grave was a megalithic burial complex of the Neolithic funnel beaker culture near Jelmstorf in the district of Uelzen ( Lower Saxony ). It was destroyed in the 19th century. The grave was located southeast of the place. It was documented in the 1840s by Georg Otto Carl von Estorff , but was already destroyed at that time and could therefore not be described in more detail. No information is available on the orientation, dimensions and type of grave. The card signature only shows that it had a rectangular barren bed .
