The
Megalithic Graves around Dabel Near the lake Dabeler See, on road B 192 in the direction of Borkow are two megalithic graves. |
| The first megalithic grave, located directly on
road B 192, was set up with seven stones. The seventh megalith is
missing, though. The grave is about 5000 years old. The huge stone covering the grave is tilted to the south. This grave belongs to the Dolmen and is very rare in Mecklenburg. Round-shaped rocks are laid out in the chamber of the grave. Under the layer of megaliths lies a 5cm strong chamber of clay that is yet surrounded by a layer of fired flints (about 3cm thick). These layers are followed by the layer of findings (20 cm). The second grave by the train tracks near lake Dabeler See is with a size of 12 by 4 meters the largest in Dabel. The grave is situated exactly in the north-east direction. The most northern megalith is also the highest one, as the grave is sloped to the south. It is still unknown if the larger rocks, arranged in a half circle on the eastside, are part of the grave site. To the west are numerous loose rocks and to the east and west, middle-sized rocks can be felt through the grass. These rocks were probably part of the circle of rocks that keeps the site from damages by erosion. The main findings are: - 2 stone axes with pinched necks - 2 thick and precisely sharpened axes made of flint - 2 crosswise-cutting arrowheads - a few blades - a large number of fragments and pieces from different Ages. |
