Summary:
coordinates taken on site: 51.025691N, 14.391768E
visited: Nov-03-2024
site almost destroyed, nor recognizable as a man-made structure
accessibility: parking within 500m of the site, but from there cross-country
Sadly, the site is almost completely destroyed. There are stones and boulders strewn across the area, but I could not distinguish natural boulders from those remaining from the original site. Some stones seem to lay in a straight line, others show no recognizable relation to each other.
Visibility on site is very bad. It's situated in the middle of a recently cleared north facing slope. The stones nestle between tree stumps, knee-high grass and brambles and almost blend together with the vegetation. This makes seeing what is going on even harder.
Very close to the coordinates to the west are two additional bigger outcrops of stones. One is situated in a strip of remaining forest, the other is in a cleared area as well. The one under the trees could also have been the chambered tomb. (51°01'28.0"N 14°23'28.5"E)
Even if nothing is identifiable as man-made now, something must have been there. Apart from this entry in the Street View map, the site is also marked as prehistoric in a hiking map.
