The large stone grave Kakerbeck was a megalithic burial complex of the Neolithic funnel cup culture near Kakerbeck , a district of Ahlerstedt in the Stade district ( Lower Saxony ). It was destroyed in the middle of the 20th century and bears the Sprockhoff number 659.
location
The grave was located north of Kakerbeck about 30 m east of the road from Wohlerst to Bargstedt north of a stream.
description
Schroller and Schweiger documented the complex on August 27, 1930 on behalf of Ernst Sprockhoff for his atlas of Germany's megalithic tombs. You could only find a remnant preserved, northwest-southeast oriented burial chamber . The mound had already been severely removed and was only preserved very flat. Seven stones were still there, three of which were on one long side. It was not possible to determine the original size of the facility or the type of grave on the basis of the findings. In 1968, when Gerhard Körner visited the site again, he could no longer find any remains of the grave.
