Chambered Tomb in Lower Saxony, Bremen

In 1903 only nine stones remained from this tomb...
Six fallen stones in a row.. most likely uprights,
showing the original orientation of the tomb.

Nowadays something similar to a Chambered Tomb
has been arranged at this place, right in the city of Löningen.
But the "uprights" are much too close, and the "capstones"
are too small, they don't form a chamber.

alternate name: Sprockhoff 971

The chamber is reconstructed. No more than 1/3 of the stones are original (6 uprights in a row and 3 stones some meters away). The original length and width of the chamber is unknown. The "reconstruction" shows an extremly narrow chamber of unrealistic size.
