In addition to the first comment:
The coordinates are correct (Accuracy 5).
The original site had been destroyed and buried in historic times as the stones probably had been an obstacle for the farmer (this procedure is known from various sites). In 1976 the stones have been rediscovered during ploughing. The original shape of the chamber could not be determined. Hence the reconstruction presented near the Sandteich in Süpplingenburg is based on speculation only.

Re: Großsteingrab am Sandteich by Anonymous on Thursday, 19 September 2019
The term 'Hühnenkamp' does not refer to 'longbed' in German. In fact the term 'Hühnen' (also 'Hünen' or 'Hinnen') means 'giants' and the term 'kamp' translates as 'field'. Hence the meaning is sth. like 'field of the giants'. Terms like this are often found as names of plots with megalithic monuments. In many cases only the historic name remained while the sites had been destroyed.
'Longbed' furthermore is a term unknown in English and may be confusing. The English term to adress similar mounuments would be '(chambered) long barrow'. In Germany terms in use 'Hünenbett' ('bed of giants') or Langbett ('long bed').
