Dübberort Grab 1
Date Added: 12th Dec 2022
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Germany (Lower Saxony, Bremen)
Visited: Yes on 10th Dec 2022. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 3 Access 3
Dübberort Grab 1 submitted by AlexHunger on 11th Dec 2005. 18 Meters by 3 Meters large chambered tomb, with 5 good capstones. 140 Meters Altitude.
Largely overgrown with ferns, but with a good amount of the tumulus still visible, which however blocks view of uprights.
End stone, appears to have rolled down tumulus, but makes a nice bench.

Dübberort Tumulus submitted by AlexHunger on 11th Dec 2005. Large 15 Meter Diameter Tumulus. There are traces that someone already tried to dig into it. This sugest that there is no megalith underneath it.

Log Text: The little Karlsteine are by far not as imposing as their bigger brothers. However, it is always nice when you can still find/see the remains of megalithic tombs yourself.
Kakerbeck Steingrab
Date Added: 12th Dec 2022
Site Type: Chambered Tomb

Visited: Yes on 14th Mar 2021. My rating: Condition 1 Ambience 3 Access 5
Kakerbeck Steingrab submitted by CharcoalBurner89 on 14th Mar 2021. The condition of this stone grave can be seen as completely destroyed. There are no visible signs that it once existed here.
Perhaps archological traces can still be made visible with an excavation. But the visible part is definitely destroyed.

Horneburg Langbett 3 submitted by Martin_L on 11th May 2010. View East along the remains of the approx. 50m x 6m kerbed and chambered long-barrow.
