Haddeby Erik Runenstein submitted by sba_dk on 3rd Apr 2022. The text is: Thorulf, hirdmand hos Sven, rejste denne sten efter sin fælle Erik, som fandt døden, da drenge (krigere) sad om Hedeby, og han var styresmand, en meget velbyrdig dreng. (In my translation: Thorulf, guard for Sven, set this stone for his friend Erik, who were killed when boys (warriors) fought at Hedeby, and he was the leader, a very honourable boy.
Note: This is a replica. The original stone can be seen at Landesmuseum Schloss Gottorf

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).

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.
