Gross Berssen Steingrab 7
Date Added: 30th Apr 2022
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Germany (Lower Saxony, Bremen)
Visited: Yes on 30th Apr 2022. My rating: Condition 5 Ambience 4 Access 4
Gross Berssen Steingrab 7 submitted by RunaStera on 3rd May 2004. The 7th and last megalithic grave on a nice weather motorcycle-tour on 1st of May. This one was renewed in 1958. It is situated in a 24m long and 20m wide mound. During first systematic excavations in 1956 were found 330 ceramics of baker culture, 22 flint-arrowheads, more stonetools and a flat copper-disc.
This megatlithic grave is in a short distance to the "King's Grave".

Log Text: This reconstructed megalithic tomb shows visitors what the tombs once looked like. Simply wonderful, since many consider the stones - the skeletons of the tumuli as it were - to be the 'normal' appearance of megalithic complexes.
