A nearly destroyed chambered tomb in Lower Saxony, of which two capstones and one upright are visible. The tomb consisted of two chambers, the eastern chamber is gone. A beautiful place. In 2014 the city of Aurich added a reconstruction of the eastern chamber (pictured), with five heavy boulders imported from Mecklenburg Vorpommern.
