Southwest of Lancken-Granitz, Lancken-Granitz 1-4 (originally 8 graves), Burtevitz 1,3 and 4 (originally 23 graves) are a total of 7 preserved megalithic tombs lined up in a southwesterly direction, like a string of pearls over a distance of about 400m. If one adds the two megalithic tombs Dummertevitz 1 (also known as Ziegensteine) and 2 (originally 11 tombs), this collection is probably one of the largest former necropolises on Rügen. Please note that my numbering scheme follows the numbering on the German Wikipedia page, which is based on Ewald Schludt's numbering.

Lancken-Granitz 4 (Dolmen / Quoit / Cromlech) — Fieldnotes

Southwest of Lancken-Granitz lies a group of 7 megalithic tombs, 4 of which belong to Lancken-Granitz, three to Burtevitz. They can be easily reached via the road leading southwest out of Lancken-Granitz. A sign points to the tombs. Lancken-Granitz 1 to 3 lie in a line running almost east-west, Lancken-Granitz 4 lies about 70 m south-west of this group of three. Lancken-Granitz 4 is an extended dolmen with three yokes. All support stones are preserved. One capstone lies on top, a second one has slipped into the chamber. The third capstone is missing. The southern narrow side is half closed by a support stone, next to it is the entrance to the chamber. The north-south oriented burial chamber is 3.5 m long and 1.8 m wide. Its height is 1.4 m at the north end and 1.1 m at the south end. Visited June 2021 Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink

Lancken-Granitz 3, the middle of the group of three, is an extended dolmen oriented in a northwest-southeast direction. The burial chamber is 3.6 m long, 1.8 m wide and 1.3 m high. There are three supporting stones on each of the long sides. The north-western end stone of the narrow side is in situ. A small stone is present on the south-western side, perhaps a doorstep stone. A capstone lies on top, a stone lying in front of the tomb could be a second capstone. Visited June 2021 Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink

Lancken-Granitz 2 (Dolmen / Quoit / Cromlech) — Fieldnotes

Southwest of Lancken-Granitz lies a group of 7 megalithic tombs, 4 of which belong to Lancken-Granitz, three to Burtevitz. They can be easily reached via the road leading southwest out of Lancken-Granitz. A sign points to the tombs. Lancken-Granitz 1 to 3 lie in a line running almost east-west, Lancken-Granitz 4 is about 70 m south-west of this group of three. Lancken-Granitz 2, the easternmost tomb of the group of three, is the largest and relatively well preserved. It has an east-west oriented, slightly trapezoidal long barrow with a length of 30 m, built on a mound that slopes steeply towards the north. The enclosure originally consisted of 25 stones, 14 of which are still preserved. The long sides of the long barrow are clearly visible, although some stones are missing or somewhat displaced. The chamber of the grand dolmen lies at the western end of the enclosure and is transverse to it, i.e. oriented north-south. It is 4.5 m long, 2.3 m wide and 1.6 m high. It has three pairs of wall stones on the long sides and a cap stone on the northern narrow side. Of the original three capstones, only the northern and the middle one have survived.

Lancken-Granitz 1 to 3 lie in a line running almost east-west, Lancken-Granitz 4 is about 70 m south-west of this group of three. Lancken-Granitz 1, the westernmost of the group of three, is a east-west oriented long barrow with a transverse lying burial chamber. The chamber is 4.5 m long, 2.2 m wide and 1.5 m high. The long barrow has been destroyed, but its extent is still clearly visible. A large stone at the eastern end is probably a guardian stone. The chamber lies in the western part of the long barrow. It is a three-yoke, completely preserved chamber, apparently an extended dolmen. All three capstones lie on their supporting stones, although some of them have slipped into the chamber. The stones already show drill holes in preparation for blasting. The stones of the chamber are partly overgrown by large trees. Visited June 2021 Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink
