A megalithic grave, also called megalithic tomb, is a megalithic complex built of large stones. Most megalithic tombs in northern Germany were created in the late Neolithic (Late Neolithic).
The popular name "Hünengrab", which is common in northern Germany, is derived from "Hüne", which can be traced back to the Middle High German "hiune" and the Low German "hûne" meaning "giant". Even in the 17th century, there was a widespread belief in the literature that these were "graves for giants".

The large stone grave is grave 2 of the large stone graves near Steinfeld. The complex has a north-south oriented burial chamber, which is probably a passage grave. The chamber was originally well overhanged and consisted of three pairs of wall stones on the long sides, one end stone each on the narrow sides and three cap stones.
