Urdolmen by Zislow 2
The Urdolmen of Zislow 2 in Zislow near Malchow (without Sprockhoff number ) is located in a wooded area east of the road from Zislow to Suckow, in the west of the Mecklenburg Lake District in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania .
The completely preserved megalithic complex, also known as the stone box, is a complex of the Baalberg culture , the older form of the funnel beaker culture (TBK - between 3800 and 3400 BC). The complex, which is closed on all sides, was discovered and excavated in 1985.
The large capstone, somewhat pushed off by the excavation, lay over two inwardly inclined granite longitudinal girders , one of which probably broke during the construction of the complex. The narrow ends of the chamber were closed with red sandstone slabs. The floor of the chamber was made of flagstone paving and clay screed . The remains of two skeletons were found in the chamber, including that of a 7 to 14 year old child. Two clay pots were also found.
There are several barrows in the area, the grave Zislow 1 as the remainder of a Bronze Age barrow with stone boxes and a bowl stone .
