The large stone grave Lehmberg is a megalithic grave complex of the Neolithic funnel cup culture near Lehmberg , a district of Waabs in the Rendsburg-Eckernförde district in Schleswig-Holstein . It bears the Sprockhoff number 67.
location
The grave is located in a field immediately west of Lehmberg. There are numerous other large stone graves in the vicinity : 1.2 km east-northeast is the large stone grave Langholz , 1.2 km north-northwest the large stone grave Sophienhof , 1.9 km north-northwest the large stone graves at Rothensande , 2 km north the large stone graves at Kleinwaabs and 2, 9 km west-southwest is the Karlsminde stone grave .
description
The complex has an east-west oriented rectangular barren bed with a length of about 20 m and a width of about 6 m. Numerous stones have been preserved from the enclosure, especially on the long sides. Ernst Sprockhoff was able to make a total of 29 stones in 1959. There are still many stones in situ, especially on the north side . The burial chamber is in the east half of the bed and is placed across it. It is an enlarged dolmen with a length of 2–2.1 m. There are two pairs of wall stones on the long sides and the northern end stone in situ. The slightly shifted southern end stone originally only took up half of the narrow side and left an entrance free at the south-west corner. Of the original two capstones, only the southern one has survived. Sprockhoff viewed two particularly large stones at the western end of the megalithic bed as possible cap stones of a second burial chamber.
In the middle of the giant bed there is a modern stone setting in the form of a table, a bench and two chairs. According to Sprockhoff, stones from the grave may have been used for their construction.
