Großsteingräber bei Hansühn

Grave 1 lies south of Hansühn, just beyond the edge of the village and directly east of the road to Neutestorf. Grave 2 lies in a field 600 m north-east of the church of Hansühn and 1.6 km north-north-east of grave 1.

Several other megalithic tombs stand nearby. The Großsteingräber bei Neutestorf lie 400 m south of grave 1 and the Großsteingrab Testorf 1 km to the north-east. The Großsteingrab Meischenstorf lies 2.4 km east-south-east of grave 2, and the Großsteingrab Grammdorf 1 lies 2.6 km to the east.

Grave 1 has a trapezoidal long barrow aligned north-east to south-west, the north-eastern part of which has been destroyed by sand extraction. When Ernst Sprockhoff recorded the site in 1937, most of the enclosing stones in the surviving south-western part were still present, although some had fallen outwards. The chamber lies close to the south-eastern long side of the barrow and is also partly destroyed by sand extraction. It is a passage grave of the Holsteiner Kammer subtype, aligned north-east to south-west, with an original length of about 3.5 m and a width of 1.5 m. It probably had four wall stones on the south-eastern long side and three on the north-western, one end stone at the north-eastern end, two at the south-western end, and three cover stones.

In 1937 the two south-western end stones, one adjoining wall stone on the north-western side and three adjoining wall stones on the south-eastern side were still standing. Only the middle cover stone survived, lying inside the chamber. The original entrance was between the third wall stone of the south-eastern side, counted from the south-west, and the missing fourth. It was preceded by a passage of originally two wall stones, of which only the south-western one remained; the passage was 1 m long and 0.5 m wide. In front of the entrance Sprockhoff found a round stone slab that may have served as a closure. Because of dense vegetation it cannot be established with certainty whether the monument is still in the state he described.

Grave 2 has a round mound with a diameter of 10 m. Sprockhoff stated in 1936 that the mound had been levelled, but recent photographs clearly show a mound. At least 16 stones of the enclosure survive. The chamber, aligned north-east to south-west, is still deep in the ground. Two cover stones are visible, the larger of which is 2 m long and 1.5 m wide, together with two smaller stones at the north-eastern end and one at the south-western end. The exact dimensions and type of the chamber are unknown. Sprockhoff assumed a chamber with three cover stones, which would make it either a great dolmen or a passage grave.
