A total of six boulders (F1 to F6) were found lying on a sandy island in the Lengener Moor, along the route of a boardwalk used between 35 BC and 350 AD between Ammerland and East Frisia. Boulder F5 is the largest of them and was erected in 1956 in memory of the dead in the memorial grove of the Wiesmoor cemetery in the district of Aurich. The boulder is approximately 4 metres high, 2.2 metres wide and 1.65 metres thick. Its weight is estimated at approximately 28 tonnes. If it ever stood upright on a sand island in the Lengener Moor, it would have been visible for miles in the treeless moor and therefore probably served as a landmark.
