Luedelsen Steingrab 6 submitted by Martin_L on 5th Oct 2009. July 2009. Just before the excavation started. View East along the southern long side. While the western and eastern chamber parts are well preserved, the capstones of the central part are out of place. The "P" marks the location of the lateral entrance passage. The kerbstones of the enclosure are well preserved, but often moved out of place by the floating (caused by erosion) earthwork.

Leetze Steingrab 4 submitted by holger_rix on 7th Oct 2009. This tomb is on private property.
You have to ask the owner for access.
There are the remains of a tomb, with complete uprights, as it seems.
It looks like the most have moved outwards, the two visible capstones have fallen into the chamber. According to the informations on a board accross the street this tomb has been examined between 1936 and 1939.
These are the kids of the owner.
