Steddorf stone grave

Location of the grave (No. 2) according to von Estorff

The large stone grave Steddorf was a megalithic burial complex of the Neolithic funnel cup culture near Steddorf , a district of Bienenbüttel in the district of Uelzen ( Lower Saxony ). It was destroyed in the 19th century. The grave was located southwest of Steddorf and north of the road to Rieste ; there was a burial mound nearby . The grave was already badly destroyed when it was documented by Georg Otto Carl von Estorff in the 1840s, possibly the remains of two complexes. No information is available on the orientation, dimensions and type of grave.
