Lohra Megalithic Tomb

The Lohra tomb (German: Steinkammergrab von Lohra) was a megalithic monument outside Lohra near Marburg in north central Hesse, Germany, dating to the Late Neolithic period, probably just after 3000 BC [1]. It belongs to the gallery graves of the Wartberg culture but is unique among them due to its rich ceramic assemblage [1]. The sunken rectangular chamber measured 5 x 2.2 metres internally [1].
