Long Barrow with Chambered Tomb in Saxony-Anhalt
Former Long Barrow apprx. 20 x 8.5m.
You can spot some of the kerbstones, but they are all out of place.
Chamber has been robbed, there is only a hole and some remains
of the chamberstones. The stones of this barrow have been
treated with explosives.
