Großsteingräber bei Kaköhl

The monuments stand about 300 m south of the Bundesstraße 202 on a rise in the terrain near Buschkate. The route is signposted, the monuments are accessible, and a sign of the Landesamt für Denkmalschutz explains them.

Kaköhl/Buschkate 1 is a slightly trapezoidal long barrow about twelve metres long. It is about seven metres wide at the northern end and around five metres wide at the southern end, and its kerbstones are preserved. Inside lies a passage grave of the type “Holsteiner Kammer”, originally formed by six supporting stones, six capstones and two end stones. Today one end stone and two capstones are missing. The mound that once covered the long barrow is almost entirely lost. The grave is listed in the Atlas der Megalithgräber Deutschlands as Sprockhoff 218.

Kaköhl/Buschkate 2 consists of the remains of a heavily disturbed chamber about seven metres long and four metres wide. Several massive capstones and supporting stones can be recognised. The mound that covered the chamber is almost entirely lost. The chamber lies about 30 m west of the long barrow Kaköhl/Buschkate 1. It is listed as Sprockhoff 219.

Kaköhl/Buschkate 3 is recognisable from three large and two smaller stones set deep in the ground, which allow no conclusion about the former structure. They are said to be the remains of a long barrow. The stones lie about ten metres south of the long barrow Kaköhl/Buschkate 1. The site is listed as Sprockhoff 220.
