Log Text: In the middle of the village of Wötz you can find this wonderful long barrow. It cannot be reached from the long barrow in the forest! It is best to stop on the road in Wötz and from there you can reach the site quickly and easily. It was the last megalithic tomb on my tour yesterday that I drove to.

Log Text: It is best to visit the 'Siebensteinhäuser' on Lower Saxony / German public holidays. The identity card is to be carried. As the megalithic tombs are located in a restricted military area, visits are only permitted at certain times that can be viewed on the Internet (here, too, there may be deviations!).

Midlum Henkenstein submitted by Martin_L on 29th Oct 2007. This is the western end of a chambered tomb. One large capstone and 3 orthostats are still in place so it looks like a dolmen, although it is not. There are significant remains of the barrow.
It is also referred to as Sprockhoff No. 606.
According to his research (Atlas der Megalithgräber Teil 3, Textband Page 3) the tomb originally had a length of 6-8m.

The reconstruction shows a "5 yokes-chamber", consisting of 5 capstones, 10 supporting stones at the long sides and 2 further uprights at the narrow sides.
