Oldendorfer Totenstatt

Sites 1, 3 and 4

• Site 1 is a 45 m long dolmen, most of which has been destroyed.
• Site 3 is the remains of the earth embankment, still 43 m long. Most of its external stones are still there, either in situ or overturned. The chamber must have been located in the section that no longer exists.
• Site 4 is an 80 m long dolmen. It originally had about 100 external stones, 14 of which are still in situ, the remainder were put back during its restoration. The passage grave consisted of a roughly 8 m long chamber with 12 upright supporting stones and a pair of passageway stones. The original five capstones of the chamber as well as the capstone for the passage are missing. The location of the chamber in the dolmen is right at the end, likewise the side entrance to the chamber is offset well to the end, so that the site is classified as one of the so-called Holsteiner Kammer type.

  Sites 2, 5 and 6

• Site 2 is a tumulus about 20 m in diameter in the centre of which the remains of a passage grave are located.
• Sites 5 and 6 are Bronze Age tumuli.
