Rickelmann 2 Grosssteingrab

Eastern part of the 10-capstone passage grave. Chamber 16m x 3m, enclosure 19m x 6m. (Reference: Sprockhoff et al.).Some stones were robbed in historic times and the earthwork is partly eroded/removed. This caused the remaining kerbstones (some visible in the forground) to fall to the barrows outside. Several are preserved, but partly covered. The chamber is largely filled with Earth.
