Log Text: The largest Iron Age burial ground in Northern Europe. I couldn't get out of the amazement. I have never seen so many tumuli in a single group and in this excellent condition. Definitive visit recommendation from me!

Ozo Menhir submitted by Alta-Falisa on 15th Apr 2015. The North Face. On this photo, it is clearly visible that the menhir was broken when buried (most probably willingly), and re-assembled in 1999 upon its discovery. 10 April 2015.

Log Text: Wonderfully small but fine museum. The exhibits for Megalithic fans are limited, but there is a beautiful cup-stone in front of the museum and the finds in the museum are well cataloged.
Ostereistedt Steingrab
Date Added: 30th Mar 2021
Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: Germany (Lower Saxony, Bremen)
Visited: Yes on 17th Jan 2021. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3
Ostereistedt Steingrab submitted by holger_rix on 19th Apr 2010. Comparably lengthy Chambered Tomb, chamber was
build with 7 orthostats on each long side in NE-SW orientation.
The NE single orthostat on the short side is in situ.
There are 4 orthostats of the NW long side still in position,
5 on the opposite. (According to Sprockhoff's text)
Nowadays it seems that you can see the tips if one
more orthostat on each side.
Remains of most likely a former capstone are resting
in the chamber. More remains of former capstones are
scattered around ...

Log Text: The biggest problem is that all ways to the grave are overgrown or no longer exist. Sometimes you even come across signs in the forest that show you nonexistent paths. It's best to rely on your GPS to find it.

Log Text: Definitely worth the visit! Warning: It is best to come by during the summer, when it has been dry for a particularly long time - the area in the field where the stone is located is otherwise very swampy and you cannot get to the stone directly with dry feet.

Visited: Yes on 30th Apr 2022. My rating: Condition 1 Ambience 4 Access 2
Oldendorfer Fuhrenkamp (2) submitted by Martin_L on 25th Feb 2011. Aerial view from the West. Eastern chamber part. In brackets: robbed.
Only 4 orthostats are preserved: The eastern chamber end orthostat and one adjacent orthostat of each long side. When Sprockhoff et al. examined the site there was another orthostat in situ at position N3 (counting from the East). Nowadays this is not visible anymore, but instead there is a largely buried orthostat at position N2. Seemingly in situ.

Oldendorfer Fuhrenkamp (1) submitted by Martin_L on 27th Mar 2009. Western part. The numbers refer to the sketch plan. Remains of a partly destroyed, large chambered tomb orientated nearly East-West. At least 17 stones are visible nowadays, but still deeply embedded into the eroded barrow. Possibly other stones are still covered. Earthwork measuring approximately 32m x 12m x 2 m (May 2008).

Oldendorf Steingrab 2 submitted by greywether on 8th Jul 2005. "Steingrab II". I'm not sure what distinguishes a "steingrab" from a "hünenbett" - maybe someone can help. Nice anyway.

Oldendorf Langbett 4 submitted by Martin_L on 24th Jan 2012. Pole aerial view of 80m long barrows' north-western part. The barrow was believed to have no chamber, but Prof. van Giffen an his team (who were invited to examinate and excavate this site) discovered the passage grave chamber. It was well preserved except for the capstones.
