Great stone grave in Medingen
The large stone grave in Medingen was a megalithic grave complex of the Neolithic funnel cup culture near Medingen , a district of Bad Bevensen in Lower Saxony in the Uelzen district . It was destroyed in the 19th century. The grave was to the west of the village at the Rießel forest; to the south and northwest there was a burial mound each . The large stone grave was documented in the 1840s by Georg Otto Carl von Estorff , but not described in detail. No information is available on the orientation, dimensions and type of grave. The card signature only shows that it had a round mound.
