Brutkamp is a Neolithic polygonal dolmen in Albersdorf in the Dithmarschen district in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. Based on the radiocarbon dates, the site can be divided into an early to middle Neolithic (3,700-3,200 BCE) and a late Neolithic (2,250-2,000 BCE) phase. In the late Neolithic, older material was removed from the chamber, deposited in the entrance area and the mound was renewed.
The dolmen has the Sprockhoff no. 150. Polygonal dolmens are megalithic structures of the funnel beaker culture (3500–2800 BCE). This subspecies of the dolmen occurs mainly in Denmark, Sweden and Schleswig-Holstein. From Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (Lexow) and Saxony-Anhalt only individual specimen is known.
