Log Text: From the information board on site:
The oldest complex in this prehistoric burial ground is the stone grave.
According to a report from 1841, the burial chamber, which was already damaged at that time, was called "Steinhaus" - "Stone House" or "Hünenkeller" - "Giant Cellar"; around 1871 it was romantically called "Fürstengruft" - „Prince Crypt“.
Like all similar complexes from this age, the stone monument served as a family crypt around 2500 BC.
All the gaps between the large boulders were wedged with rubble stones and covered with clay on the outside. The whole burial chamber was hidden under a mound of earth. Neolithic grave goods have not been preserved here.
During the archaeological investigation in 1978, one capstone and 5 torn apart, partly damaged carrier stones were still present. A capstone had already been removed around 1920 and used as a war memorial.
The administration of the district of Rotenburg (Wümme) restored the complex based on the excavation findings using the example of other stone graves. The remaining stones were moved together in a new arrangement.

Steinfeld Steingrab 2 submitted by AlexHunger on 1st May 2006. This relatively compact Alee Couverte consists of 8 uprights while 2 out of 3 cap stones survive. A fragment of the 3rd lies just beside the tomb. Archeologists presume the former tumulus was surrounded by kerbstones.
The site has been restored since Sprockhoff's survey in the 1930s.

Log Text: From the information board on site:
From 2700 to 2000 BC the stone graves served our oldest farmers as crypts.
The huge boulders could be moved and lifted by a few people with lever bars and rollers. The transport was best done on hard frozen ground. The capstones are hewn on the sides so that they could form a closed ceiling. There were gaps between the side stones. From this it can be seen that the cap stones were first brought into their final position on a mound of earth or wooden scaffolding and the side stones were fitted individually underneath. For this purpose, the gaps between the supporting stones were required as space for movement. All holes and gaps were wedged with rubble stones and sealed from the outside with clay. The whole complex has had a round mound over it.

Gräberfeld im Deependahl submitted by CharcoalBurner89 on 7th Mar 2021. The barrow cemetery in Deependahl near Tarmstedt in the district of Rotenburg (Wümme) is located in Lower Saxony in the Elbe-Weser triangle, on the Geestrand of a meltwater valley. Tumuli, urn finds and settlement sites from the time of the Roman Empire indicate a relatively dense prehistoric settlement. In the middle of the 20th century, the barrow cemetery in Deependahl was almost completely destroyed by gravel mining. In 1966 several barrows could be examined, one of which showed findings in...

Steinhügelgrab im Ummel submitted by CharcoalBurner89 on 7th Mar 2021. Today the stone circle is barely visible due to the overgrowth of moss and the accumulation of leaves from the surrounding forest.
From the information board on site:
The stone ring marks the original end of the tumlus and is barely recognizable today because of the earth that has flowed down. Most of the tree coffins have passed away in the sandy soil. Only the shore stones and the soil discoloration still show their location. In the older and middle Bronze Age (approx. 1600 to 1200 BC)...

Only the shore stones and the soil discoloration still show their location. In the older and middle Bronze Age (approx. 1600 to 1200 BC) the dead were buried in coffins made from hollowed-out tree trunks. There were often several graves in the great hills. The rare bronze grave goods were excavated as early as the 19th century. The finds are in the State Museum of Lower Saxony in Hanover.

Kakerbeck Steingrab submitted by CharcoalBurner89 on 14th Mar 2021. The condition of this stone grave can be seen as completely destroyed. There are no visible signs that it once existed here.
Perhaps archological traces can still be made visible with an excavation. But the visible part is definitely destroyed.
