The Alstedder Hünengrab is a chambered tomb in Lünen (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany). It was discovered during construction works near the Lippe river (coordinates: 51.616667, 7.516667) in 1909.
Unfortunately, no further examinations were made. The big capstone was put back into the ground. The fate of the other stones is unknown.
In 1972, the capstone was rediscovered. It was placed in front of the church St. Ludger in Alstedde (Lünen), which is about 1.5 km north-west of the original site.
The capstone displays a deep furrow and can still be seen today.
