The large stone grave Tensbüttel (also known as long bed Tensbüttel ) is a megalithic grave complex of the Neolithic funnel cup culture near Tensbüttel , a district of Tensbüttel-Röst in the Dithmarschen district ( Schleswig-Holstein ). It bears the Sprockhoff number 153.
location
The grave is located about 400 m east of Tensbüttel on the northern edge of a small forest. 700 m to the north there are two burial mounds .
Of the originally numerous large stone graves in the Dithmarschen district, only a few remain today. 4 km west of Tensbüttel is the large stone grave Dellbrück , 4 km northeast of the large stone grave near Alberstorf .
description
The complex has a heavily ransacked east-west oriented mound bed with a length of about 20 m and a width of 6 m. In 1934 Ernst Sprockhoff could only make out two stones on the southern long side of the enclosure. The burial chamber is placed at right angles to the mound bed and can probably be addressed as a polygonal pole . When Sprockhoff took it, it had a single large capstone with a length of 2.6 m, a width of 2.2 m and a thickness of 0.5 m. It was still resting on four wall stones. The two north-western stones were parallel to each other at a distance of 1.8 m, the two south-eastern stones were at an angle to each other. The northern closure of the chamber was missing. Between the two southeastern stones there was a free space of 0.7 m at the outer end, at which a corridor began, of which Sprockhoff could only make out a capstone protruding barely from the earth, the rest of the corridor was still hidden in the ground. The contents of the chamber are also likely to have been largely intact. The current condition of the facility is unclear due to the heavy vegetation.
