Heringsberg
Date Added: 9th Nov 2022
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Germany (Saxony-Anhalt)
Visited: Yes on 7th Nov 2022. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 3 Access 4
Heringsberg submitted by Martin_L on 1st Jun 2012. The entrance in the SW. The massive chamber originally was covered by a barrow, 70m diameter and 10m high. The barrow is largely removed, but the chamber still partly embedded into remains of it and largely filled with earth. It is of trapezoidal shape, oriented SW-NE. Length is at least 9m, width over 3m at the NE-part. At least the NE-end orthostat is missing. It is hard or impossible to reach the site during growing season.
Thanks to the “Arbeitskreis Archäologie im Bernburger Land e.V...

Everstorfer Forst Nord (8) submitted by holger_rix on 9th Apr 2008. German info: 'Urdolmen unter Bodenniveau mit Deckstein und Einstiegsplatte'
Burial Chamber with (broken) capstone.
Somebody broke the capstone into two pieces. Obviously the split didn't work out as planned, so the smaller part fall into the chamber and was left there. What a pity !

Log Text: Here the stone setting and the former burial chamber are still very well preserved, although the tumulus is badly eroded. More recently, clearing work seems to have been needed after the storms and the dying pine forests. Therefore, the megalithic tomb is more "open air" now.
