    The facility is located in a field just beyond the southern edge of Stöckheim.
    The edging stones of the hill are no longer there.
    The capstone is 4.50 m long, 2.90 m wide, 0.8 m thick and weighs around 22 tons.

      The so-called blood groove in the middle of the stone is mysterious and there are several legends surrounding its origin.

        Trichterbecker culture ca. 3600-3100 BC
        The interior dimensions of the burial chamber are 9.2 m x 2.2-1.8 m.
        The chamber is highest at the northern end, and the wall stones become lower and smaller in the southern part.
        All four capstones have been preserved.

          The Neolithic grave complex has the largest surviving capstone of all large stone graves in the Altmark and this is still in its original position. Its weight is about 22 tons.
