Log Text: You can now drive freely on the road to the cist. However, the street is quite narrow and local farmers should be given priority for their agricultural traffic. The cist is only a few steps into a small wood.

Gräberfeld im Deependahl submitted by CharcoalBurner89 on 7th Mar 2021. The barrow cemetery in Deependahl near Tarmstedt in the district of Rotenburg (Wümme) is located in Lower Saxony in the Elbe-Weser triangle, on the Geestrand of a meltwater valley. Tumuli, urn finds and settlement sites from the time of the Roman Empire indicate a relatively dense prehistoric settlement. In the middle of the 20th century, the barrow cemetery in Deependahl was almost completely destroyed by gravel mining. In 1966 several barrows could be examined, one of which showed findings in...

In the middle of the 20th century, the barrow cemetery in Deependahl was almost completely destroyed by gravel mining. In 1966 several barrows could be examined, one of which showed findings in the form of a palisade, two tree coffin burials and a funeral hut (in older literature still referred to as a „Totenhütte“ - „Hut of the dead“).
Steinhügelgrab im Ummel

Visited: Yes on 7th Mar 2021. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 3
Steinhügelgrab im Ummel submitted by CharcoalBurner89 on 7th Mar 2021. Today the stone circle is barely visible due to the overgrowth of moss and the accumulation of leaves from the surrounding forest.
From the information board on site:
The stone ring marks the original end of the tumlus and is barely recognizable today because of the earth that has flowed down. Most of the tree coffins have passed away in the sandy soil. Only the shore stones and the soil discoloration still show their location. In the older and middle Bronze Age (approx. 1600 to 1200 BC)...

Only the shore stones and the soil discoloration still show their location. In the older and middle Bronze Age (approx. 1600 to 1200 BC) the dead were buried in coffins made from hollowed-out tree trunks. There were often several graves in the great hills. The rare bronze grave goods were excavated as early as the 19th century. The finds are in the State Museum of Lower Saxony in Hanover.

Basdahl Sieversberg submitted by CharcoalBurner89 on 10th Mar 2021. The Sieversberg is the highest tumulus in the district of Rotenburg (Wümme).
The name Sieversberg is derived from a local legend according to which a robber named Sievers was buried here centuries ago. According to tradition, he was not allowed to be buried in the Christian cemetery.

Log Text: The tumulus can easily be reached by car from Basdahl. The last 200 meters, however, should be better walked because the road to the tumulus are very bad.

Stueh Grabhuegelgruppe submitted by CharcoalBurner89 on 12th Mar 2021. The bronze age barrow cemetery is largely overgrown by natural plants and forestry management. The tumuli are extremely difficult to find and hardly visible in wood because they are not very high.
On the photo you can see the tumulus located northeast (exact location: Latitude: 53.45813N, Longitude: 9.24708E).

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.
