The large stone grave in Ohrensen is a burial site of the Neolithic funnel cup culture near the district of Ohrensen in the district of Stade , Lower Saxony, which belongs to the municipality of Bargstedt . It bears the Sprockhoff number 658.
location
The grave is located about 3 km north of the outskirts of Ohrensen, near the municipal boundary in a tree-lined parcel called "The Seven Mountains". There are numerous burial mounds around the complex and in a long row stretching south-east towards Issendorf .
description
The facility is largely destroyed. It has an approximately east-west oriented barren bed with a length of 48 m and a maximum width of 13 m. The height of the mound is still 1.2 m in places. From the former stone enclosure only two stones in the western part of the northern long side are preserved. The burial chamber was excavated in 1931 by Karl Kersten and Willi Wegewitz . The investigation showed that the chamber is at right angles to the barn bed. However, their exact original appearance could not be reconstructed.
