The Schalkholz Passage Grave, also known as Schalkholz-Vierth is a megalithic burial site of the Neolithic period and of the Funnelbeaker culture in Vierth, a district of Schalkholz in the province of Schleswig-Holstein in Germany [1]. During the late Bronze Age or early Iron Age, it was used for a secondary burial site and was expanded upon [1]. It has the Sprockhoff number 139 and the site number LA 33 or Heide LA 5 [1]. The grave was archaeologically investigated in 1969 and 1970 and was afterwards moved to the nearby town of Heide [1]. In 2021 it was moved back to Schalkholz [1].
