    The stone box was once the quarry workers' accommodation.
    The stone box grave was only discovered during quarry work in 1934.
    This grave was originally 16.8 m long, 2.8 m wide and 2 m high. The surrounding walls were made of vertical lime slabs and formed an entrance in a southwesterly direction. It is an elaborately built collective grave that has been used as such for generations.
    During the subsequent excavations, 98 human, relatively small skeletons were found, which date from around 3000 to 2500 BC. The stone box grave of Hiddingsen itself is dated to around 3000 BC.


    It is located right next to the forest restaurant Zur Steinkiste. Nice piece of land with a playground. The adjacent nature reserve invites you to a nice walk to the wild horses and Taurus cattle.
