[en] The Devil's Stones (also known as the devil's bed, Düvel- or Lehzensteine) is a Neolithic passage tomb of the type Emsland Chamber with Sprockhoff no. 914. It developed between 3500 and 2800 BC, as a megalithic plant of the funnel beaker culture (TBK). Neolithic monuments are an expression of the culture and ideology of Neolithic societies. Their origin and function are regarded as signs of social development.

Of the six decking blocks and the 14 supporting blocks, one each is missing. In the middle of the southern long side, between the third and fourth stone, a gap for access is visible.
