Werpeloh Steingrab 4
Werpeloh Steingrab 4 submitted by Martin_L : View inside the chamber looking towards fallen capstone C1. Entrance is to the left (between S2 and S3). The smoothed granite surfaces of these orthostats are clearly visible and give some impression of the original character of this neolithic monument. May 2009 (Vote or comment on this photo)
