The large stone grave Klein Zastrow is a megalithic grave complex of the Neolithic funnel cup culture near Klein Zastrow , a district of Dersekow in the district of Vorpommern-Greifswald ( Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ). It bears the Sprockhoff number 548.
location
The grave is located about 800 m south of Klein Zastrow and about 1.3 km east of Groß Zastrow in a field. The Klein Zastrow complex is part of a larger group of megalithic tombs that extends southwest of Greifswald between Dargelin in the east and Düvier in the west. About 2 km to the west are the megalithic graves near Groß Zastrow , 2.4 km to the east the megalithic graves near Neu Negentin and 3 km east of the megalithic graves near Dargelin .
description
The complex consists of a north-east-south-west oriented burial chamber , which is to be referred to as a large dolmen and which was encased with a rolling stone hill. Eight wall stones are still preserved from the originally four-bay chamber. All four stones are present on the south-eastern long side, all of which except the southern one are in situ . On the north-western long side, three stones have been preserved, but only the northern one is in situ, the southern one is missing. Furthermore, the northeast end stone is preserved, the southwest one is missing. Of the originally three capstones, only the northeastern one has survived. This fell into the interior of the chamber when Sprockhoff was taken in 1931, but must later have been placed on the wall stones again. The chamber originally had a length of about 4 m and a width of 2.1 m.
During an excavation in 1937, a stone ax and several ceramic shards with ornamental patterns from the funnel cup culture were found in the grave.
