Barskamp Steingrab 4 submitted by Martin_L : From the NW. Longbarrow, oriented NW-SE, 40m by 4m. Most kerbstones are preserved, but largely fallen to barrows' outside. This seems the result of earthworks' erosion. The barrow is disintegrated down to a height of less than 40cm, which most probably is only one third or less of the original height.
