Horneburg Langbett 3 submitted by Martin_L on 11th May 2010. View East along the remains of the approx. 50m x 6m kerbed and chambered long-barrow. The chamber is located just east of barrows' center and visible near the center of the picture. Only the eastern end-stone and the adjacent orthostat of the northern long-side are preserved in situ. Hence the original size of the chamber is unknown. According to the size of the pit resulting from destruction it may have had 2 or 3 capstones. To the right (South): one of the very few remaining kerbstones is vis...

Kakerbeck Steingrab submitted by CharcoalBurner89 on 14th Mar 2021. The condition of this stone grave can be seen as completely destroyed. There are no visible signs that it once existed here.
Perhaps archological traces can still be made visible with an excavation. But the visible part is definitely destroyed.
