The Haltern sloop stones are a megalithic complex in the municipality of Belm in the district of Osnabrück in Lower Saxony in Germany .
location
The megalithic graves are located in a wooded area south of Dübberort in the Haltern district of the Belm community .
description
The sloop stones are among the well-preserved large stone graves in the region. The east-west-oriented complex has a strongly trapezoidal floor plan. The chamber has a length of 10.5 meters and a width between 1.6 meters in the west and 3.8 meters in the east.
The system with the Sprockhoff no. 917 today consists of six (once seven) bearing stones on the north side and seven on the south side. Most are shifted inward. The western narrow side consists of one, the eastern one of two supporting stones, one of which is no longer in the original square. Of the original six capstones, the thickness of which increases towards the east, there are five, but they have all fallen between the bearing stones of the chamber. The access is assumed to be on the southern long side between stones 3 and 4. There are no traces of the originally existing hill.
