Oldendorfer Fuhrenkamp (2) submitted by Martin_L on 25th Feb 2011. Aerial view from the West. Eastern chamber part. In brackets: robbed.
Only 4 orthostats are preserved: The eastern chamber end orthostat and one adjacent orthostat of each long side. When Sprockhoff et al. examined the site there was another orthostat in situ at position N3 (counting from the East). Nowadays this is not visible anymore, but instead there is a largely buried orthostat at position N2. Seemingly in situ.
