In the passage grave on the Radberg (also megalithic grave named by Long) is a Neolithic passage grave with the Sprockhoff no. 873. It originated between 3500 and 2800 BC. And is a megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK). The passage grave is a form of Neolithic megalithic systems, which consists of a chamber and a structurally separated, lateral passage.

Neolithic monuments are an expression of the culture and ideology of Neolithic societies. Their origin and function are considered to be the hallmarks of social development.
