The Urdolmen of Trebenow (also called Hünenstein) is about 15 kilometers north of Prenzlau in a ground moraine landscape of the Uckertal; about 700 m southeast of the church, immediately before the southern entrance to Trebenow . Trebenow is part of the Uckerland municipality in Brandenburg . The complex was built between 3500 and 2800 BC. BC as a megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK). The Urdolmen bears the Sprockhoff no. 455.

The megalithic complex made of granite boulders is almost north-south oriented. The chamber lies in a flat round hill. The bearing stones on the long sides are on their longest narrow side. In the north the chamber is bounded by the end stone. The length of the side stones is 2.3 and 1.9 m; The stones protrude 0.7 to 0.8 m from the ground and reach up to 1.0 m below the surface. The width of the chamber in the access area is about 1.5 m, which indicates that stones that have narrowed the access are missing. The existing stones are in situ .

A large capstone, 3.0 m long and 0.60 to 1.0 m thick, lies on the wall stones of the chamber. In the Bronze Age, numerous bowls were sunk into the capstone .

The facility has been completely robbed. A subsequent excavation before 1904 provided evidence of the deeply-founded bearing stones. The finds consisted of two horse teeth; a charred long bone and two small gray-black, undecorated shards.
