Bremervoerde Huegelgrab Plietenberg

Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: Germany (Lower Saxony, Bremen)
Visited: Yes on 13th May 2021. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 3
Bremervoerde Huegelgrab Plietenberg submitted by CharcoalBurner89 on 13th May 2021. According to Dr. Tempel the tumulus is 21 meters wide and 1.6 meters high.
Professional excavations have not yet taken place. However, in 1858, the geometer Kropp determined that a stone circle runs on the tumulus, which is bisected by a 58 cm wide stone pavement. Nothing comparable is known so far.

Hammah Steingrab 1 submitted by holger_rix on 1st Aug 2007. Certainly the better known tomb in Hammah,
because it is in perfect condition and near the road.
A stunning beauty and must-see.
More then 4000 years old, so they say.

Heinbockel Megalithgrab submitted by Martin_L on 19th Jun 2012. View towards SW. Southwestern end of a chambered tomb situated next to a small road in the village Heinbockel near Stade. The endstone and the adjacent pair of uprights are preserved and most probably in situ. The original chamber-size is unknown.
According to Körner (in Sprockhoff, Ernst (et al.) – Atlas der Megalithgräber Deutschlands – Teil 3 Niedersachsen - Westfalen, Habelt, Bonn, 1975, p. 22) the only remaining capstone was out of place but moved back on the uprights in 1966. ...

Hegebusch Steingrab submitted by holger_rix on 22nd Apr 2010. Remains of a tomb in a forest west of Brillit.
Area is called Hegebusch.
Marked as 'Stone Tomb' on the topographic map.
At least four boulders in a row look like capstones,
there might be a Chambered Tomb in the ground here.
Unfortunately, no further information.

Log Text: Since Holger Rix's visit in 2010, the remains of the megalithic grave have been heavily overgrown. The path is very difficult as there is no direct way to the megalithic grave. The forest is heavily used for forestry purposes, which makes the path even more difficult.
