The Bargloyer Steinkiste is located north of Bargloy, town of Wildeshausen in Lower Saxony. The unusually for northwest Germany unusual, otherwise widespread plant of large stones, was originally overgrown by a mound. However, it is not a big stone grave.

The 2.0 × 1.5 meter stone box in the Wildeshauser Geest dates from the final phase of the Neolithic Age or from the beginning of the Bronze Age, around 1800 - 1600 BC. In contrast to the preceding megalithic graves, stone boxes were originally intended for individual burials.

The stone box aroused interest early on. The capstone resting on five stones with its 25 cup-shaped bowls is probably connected with religious ideas. As early as 1820, Pastor G. W. A. Oldenburg arranged excavations to gain information about the function of the box. Bergen could be a bronze short sword of the so-called "type Sögel", a bronze arm ring, a bronze needle and nine heart-shaped arrowheads made of flint, which are now stored in the State Museum of Nature and Man Oldenburg. The findings lead to the conclusion that it is a Bronze Age male burial. (Source: wikipedia.org/wiki/Bargloyer_Steinkiste)
