The Steenhus (= low German for Stone house) is one of three surviving megalithic graves in Börger.

Approx. 180 metres northeast of this tomb are the “Hünensteine”, a badly destroyed grave almost the same size as the Steenhus with four capstones and eleven orthostats.
About 250 metres southwest of the Steenhus is another, even more destroyed megalithic grave with only one capstone and five orthostats. Nine of the originally eleven capstones still exist of the east-west oriented burial chamber of the Steenhus. Only at the north side one of the eleven orthostats on each side is missing. And the orthostats of the narrow sides are also there. The access in the middle of the southern side still has two orthostats. But only a single stone next to the entrance is left of the oval stone ring that surrounded the chamber.
