Darpvenne Grab 3 submitted by Martin_L on 16th Apr 2009. Overview from the West (Looking down from a height of 4m). The East-West orientated chamber measures 12,5m x 3m (clear 10,5m x 1,6m). 3 out of probably 8 capstones are completely preserved, but fallen into the chamber like fragments of two other capstones. Except for one orthostat in the NE, all orthostats are preserved, but some are slightly out of place as a result of the destruction activities.

Driehausen Menhir submitted by AlexHunger on 12th Dec 2005. Probably modern Menhir near Driehausen Chambered tomb. There are a lot of glacial eratics in the area from which this could be conveniantly used to beautify a small village.

Log Text: Big boulder on the wayside. If you're already in the area, you can stop for a moment. If I understood correctly today, the locals from the village set up their maypole next to the boulder (but could also have been a topping-out tree)
Driehausen Grosssteingrab
Date Added: 7th May 2022
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Germany (Lower Saxony, Bremen)
Visited: Yes on 7th May 2022. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 4
Driehausen Grosssteingrab submitted by Martin_L on 1st Oct 2009. Central part of this impressive large chamber viewed from the South-East. The central capstones are out of place as several orthostats of the northern long-side were moved during "excavations" by the Graf (Earl) Münster in the beginning of the 19th century. Nowadays unfortunately it is badly neglected and suffers further damage by heavy tree growth inside the chamber. (2007)

Sprockhoff identified 4 orthostats and one capstone [1]. He mentioned a total number of eight preserved megaliths + fragments. The structure was already destroyed when Wächter examined it [1], [2]. Despite this damages Sprockhoff assumed the original ground-plan could be clarified by an excavation.

Laehden Steingrab 1 submitted by Martin_L on 17th Jul 2011. Pole aerial view from the NW. Skeleton of a neolithic passage grave of Drenthe/Emsland-type. Although many stones are robbed and several of the remaining are out of place this is a fantastic and important site: 23m x 3m chamber originally covered by at least 15 capstones and surrounded by an extremely rare double oval enclosure. The enclosure is partly well preserved on the North-eastern long side. Capstones C1 (counting from the NW), C7, C12, C14 and C15 are missing.
