Sparow Steingrab
Sparow Steingrab submitted by peterpf : The two big capstones of #423. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Chambered Tomb in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania

A big chamber in the remains of an oval mound,
it had four orthostats on each long side and four
capstones. Size 7 x 2.2-1.8m.
The NW side is still complete and in position,
in the SE side just one of the four is leaning
into the chamber.
Three big capstones are left, one of them has
fallen into the chamber. Biggest capstones size
2.6 x2.4 x1.8m.

It is indeed a long walk to the tomb (1.2km)
but well worth the effort.
