Blengow Vossberg Steingrab
Blengow Vossberg Steingrab submitted by peterpf : Only some disordered stone remain. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Chambered Tomb in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania

Remains of a rectangle shape Long Barrow in N-S orientation.
Only 8 kerb stones of the east long side are in situ, plus 2 of the west.

A little at the side, a most likely former capstone is lying flat on the ground.
It is famous for the now fainted carvings. Seven wheels are hardly visible,
and some cup marks. The wheels have been carved long after the original
chamber was build, it is assumed that they originate from the bronze age.

Blengow Vossberg Steingrab
Blengow Vossberg Steingrab submitted by Martin_L : Some of the weathered bronze age "wheel cross" carvings. Clearly showing the affinity with Scandinavian bronze age culture. The neolithic chambered long barrow is heavily damaged, though the stone with the carvings probably is a/the dislocated capstone of the chamber. Due to a lack of suitable surfaces rock carvings are rare over here while they are common in areas of Scandinavia. July 2015 (Vote or comment on this photo)
