Abused as a quarry in historic times, but especially the chamber still is partly well preserved while most enclosure stones are fallen or slightly moved and partly covered by the eroded earthwork.

Log Text: The cist was restored in 2014. Today it is more overgrown again, but still very visible. The Wikipedia article about this cist is unfortunately only in German; however, it contains some very good photos from the time of the restoration: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinkiste_in_der_Feldmark_Rade

Log Text: The largest Iron Age burial ground in Northern Europe. I couldn't get out of the amazement. I have never seen so many tumuli in a single group and in this excellent condition. Definitive visit recommendation from me!

Ostereistedt Steingrab
Date Added: 30th Mar 2021
Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: Germany (Lower Saxony, Bremen)
Visited: Yes on 17th Jan 2021. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3
Ostereistedt Steingrab submitted by holger_rix on 19th Apr 2010. Comparably lengthy Chambered Tomb, chamber was
build with 7 orthostats on each long side in NE-SW orientation.
The NE single orthostat on the short side is in situ.
There are 4 orthostats of the NW long side still in position,
5 on the opposite. (According to Sprockhoff's text)
Nowadays it seems that you can see the tips if one
more orthostat on each side.
Remains of most likely a former capstone are resting
in the chamber. More remains of former capstones are
scattered around ...

Log Text: The biggest problem is that all ways to the grave are overgrown or no longer exist. Sometimes you even come across signs in the forest that show you nonexistent paths. It's best to rely on your GPS to find it.

Log Text: Definitely worth the visit! Warning: It is best to come by during the summer, when it has been dry for a particularly long time - the area in the field where the stone is located is otherwise very swampy and you cannot get to the stone directly with dry feet.
