Large stone grave in Papenbusch
_1.jpg)
The large stone grave in Papenbusch is a Neolithic rectangular dolmen with the Sprockhoff no. 151. It originated between 3500 and 2800 BC. BC as a megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK).
location
The large stone grave in Papenbusch is located on the eastern outskirts of Albersdorf in the Dithmarschen district in Schleswig-Holstein, north of the Albersdorf train station there. The dolmen itself was located in a 0.95 m high round hill with a diameter of 13.5 m without the remains of a stone border. The facility with a 1.1 m long and 0.55 m wide corridor was examined by a layperson. Karl Kersten carried out a follow-up examination and restoration in 1946.

Chamber and passage
In the middle of the hill was a chamber with the internal dimensions 2.4 × 1.2 m. Six approximately 1.8 m high bearing stones, two on the western, three on the eastern long side, and a block on the northern narrow side carried two cap stones, one of which is missing. The capstone obtained, with two bowls , was not in situ on the pair of supporting stones on the access side. On the eastern edge of the hill were two boulders with flat undersides, which were perhaps the capstones of the chamber and corridor. The two southern bearing stones are angled so that an approximately central entrance gap is created in the southern narrow side. In front of it is a short corridor made of a pair of bearing stones. The approximately 0.9 m high corridor stones are less deepened than the bearing stones of the chamber. The flooring made of burnt flint was destroyed during the lay excavation. The outside of the bearing stones of the chamber were encased in stones the size of a fist or head, some of which were intentionally split.
Finds
No finds were found in situ in the chamber. In an undisturbed layer of hills east of the Ganges were ten pieces of a funnel cup, six pieces of a bowl and a few pieces of flint. It could be a matter of cleared gifts from a primary burial.
