South of Schadewohl, west of Kerstenberg, near a hill called
'Spitzen Berg' are the remains of three megalithic tombs.
Tomb No. 1 is located 60m NW of a small way leading out of
Schadewohl. There is a small lengthy bush, the place has been
used as a dump.
Schadewohl 1 (or Tomb 37 according to the official book
'Großsteingräber in der Altmark') was an Extended Dolmen
with six pairs of uprights on the long sides, and a single
stone on the short.
Four capstones are still there,
but fallen, partly broken and shifted out of place.
The uprights also have moved outwards.
One broken capstone has a deep encarved rill on one side.
