Date Added: 29th May 2023
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Germany (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania)
Visited: Yes. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 4
Everstorfer Forst Nord (8) submitted by holger_rix on 9th Apr 2008. German info: 'Urdolmen unter Bodenniveau mit Deckstein und Einstiegsplatte'
Burial Chamber with (broken) capstone.
Somebody broke the capstone into two pieces. Obviously the split didn't work out as planned, so the smaller part fall into the chamber and was left there. What a pity !
