Log Text: You can now drive freely on the road to the cist. However, the street is quite narrow and local farmers should be given priority for their agricultural traffic. The cist is only a few steps into a small wood.

Horneburg Langbett 4 submitted by Martin_L on 27th Apr 2010. The chamber of the kerbed long-barrow viewed from above (pole aerial)
As usual the orthostats are slightly inclined towards the chamber, but due to erosion of the earthwork the eastern chamber endstones' inclination increased significantly. The capstones C2 and C3 are robbed otherwise the chamber is well preserved. Especially the western third of the chamber and the passage section are in very good condition. April 2010

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.

Log Text: There is no direct path to the stone grave, so you have to walk across the fields. This limits the access to late autumn, winter and early spring before sowing.
