Wanna Steingrab (1) submitted by Martin_L on 4th Mar 2010. The extended dolmen viewed from the South showing the entrance. A view like this currently is only possible in the wintertime. Although it is not obvious in this picture, the site tends to be very overgrown in summertime especially with fern. January 2010

The reconstruction shows a "5 yokes-chamber", consisting of 5 capstones, 10 supporting stones at the long sides and 2 further uprights at the narrow sides.

Wanna Steingrab (15) submitted by CharcoalBurner89 on 4th Sep 2022. After the excavation, this megalithic tomb was backfilled with earth just like Wanna #16 and 17. However, the capstones protrude a little from the ground.
