Description
This is a photo of the site in Sprockhoff, Siebs: "Die Großsteingräber des Elb-Weser-Winkels" Heimatbund der Männer vom Morgenstern, Bremerhaven 1957.
The photo is attributed to "Landesmuseum Hannover", but no date of recording is given.
On this photo the structure is in quite a disorder, but the remaining stones appear to be quite massive. According to the despription by Sprockhoff et al. in 'Atlas der Megalithgräber', there were 11 stones left. And the position of the site is referred to as "very close" to the Bramstedt-Wittstedt track. Hence it is not unlikely that the site is lost and lay were we nowadays see the sand extraction pit. Several gardens in the village Wittenstedt in the North are decorated with massive erratics which would have been splendid building material for several megalithic sites.
