Tips
The megalithic tomb with Sprockhoff number 934 is located a few meters northwest of the "Visbek Groom." It is a fairly well-preserved, large structure with an oval enclosure. About half of the enclosure is still in place. The elongated burial chamber, oriented northwest-southeast, is covered by stones, some of which are very large. The chamber measures 23.8 x 1.8 meters. The entrance to the burial chamber is still visible; its original length was 2.7 meters.The structure dates from the Funnel Beaker culture, circa 3400–2800 BC.- tw.strahlen.org/praehistorie/niedersachsen/visbek934.html
