Stapelstein is a Bronze Age stone cist and consists of four supporting stones with two capstones. Excavations in 1878 found no grave goods. Ernst Sprockhoff classifies the site as a stone cist rather than a megalithic tomb due to its small size.
The cist is located immediately north of the B346 road from Horsten to Friedeburg an eroded round barrow, so access is very easy.
