Stone box from Fehrenbruch
The Fehrenbruch stone box (also called Farven stone box, but not to be confused with another Farven stone box ) is located near Malstedt , southeast of Bremervörde in Lower Saxony . The stone box dates from the late Neolithic and can best be compared with the stone box in the Rade field .
The reconstructed megalithic complex is located between Malstedt, Farven and Fehrenbruch , south of a path that leads from Fehrenbruch to Malstedt. The stone box is not in the original location. The original position was about 30.0 m southwest in the field. The large stone box has four lateral bearing stones and one end stone each. One of the large capstones lies on the chamber.
In Fehrenbruch there was a settlement chamber that was used from the Neolithic to the Early Iron Age , as evidenced by large stone graves as well as mound and urn graves.
50 - 100 m to the west there were several megalithic systems that have now disappeared. The large stones in the vicinity of the stone box are probably relocated stones from the old systems.
