Hemmelmark Steingrab (1)
Date Added: 22nd Feb 2011
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: Germany (Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg)
Visited: Yes on 6th Jan 2011
Hemmelmark Steingrab (1) submitted by Martin_L on 6th Jan 2011. View along the chambered and kerbed long-barrow.
It is oriented NW-SE. The length was at least 22m. Width is approx. 6m.
Most of the kerbstones especially in the NW most probably are robbed. Some remained, but are largely covered and/or fallen as the earthwork is heavily eroded. Furthermore some stones from field clearance were obviously placed on top and beside the long-barrow.
