It is also referred to as BARSKAMP, Tomb V or SPROCKHOFF No. 709.
The surrounding stones are the remaining sidestones of the rectangular barrow (hunebed). The chamber is a "classic" dolmen (=chamber built of 4 uprights and one capstone (missing).

from the 'Barskamper Chronik'

Ein weiteres kleines, stark beschädigtes Hühnengrab im Jagen 34, von dem nur die Breite mit 5 m bekannt ist, wird für das älteste Steingrab Niedersachsens erachtet. Es ist ein Dolmen, eine einfache geschlossene Grabkammer (bretonisch = Steintisch)


So, this should be the oldest stone tomb in Lower Saxony...
