The Loppin large stone grave is a megalithic grave complex of the Neolithic funnel cup culture near Loppin , a district of Jabel in the Mecklenburg Lake District ( Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ). It bears the Sprockhoff number 424.
location
The grave is located about 1 km north of Loppin and about 100 m south of the Krog or Krummer Lake in a field. The Neu Gaarz stone grave lies in the forest about 350 m north-north-west .
description
The complex has a north-west-south-east oriented rectangular barren bed. The mound has a length of 19 m and a width of 8 m. Only two stones remain of the enclosure in the northern area. Both are in situ . A little to the west of the middle of the bed is the transverse burial chamber, which is an enlarged dolmen . All six wall stones are still there. Except for the inwardly inclined northern stone on the north-eastern long side, all are still in situ. The southeast corner stone only covers half of the narrow side and thus leaves an entrance open. The long sides each have a long and a short wall stone. The cap stones are missing. The original function of a stone lying in the chamber can no longer be determined. The chamber has a length of 2.3 m and a width of 1.1 m.
