Bag-Hyldehøj
The Bag-Hyldehøj (also called Rødby Hyldehøj) is a passage grave ( Danish Jættestue ) with one of the rare side chambers . Only 30 such systems (of around 700 surviving) can be found around the Limfjord , in Djursland , three on Zealand (e.g. Hørhøj and Kornerup Mark ) and two on Lolland .
Bag-Hyldehøj is located east of Rødbyhavn on the Danish island of Lolland . The funnel beaker culture (TBK) originates from the Neolithic (3200–2800 BC) and is a type of Neolithic megalithic system consisting of a chamber and a structurally separated, lateral passage . The form can be found primarily in Denmark, Germany and Scandinavia, as well as occasionally in France and the Netherlands.
description
The approximately 1.75 m high round hill has a diameter of about 18.0 m. In the hill there is an approximately east-west oriented trapezoidal chamber with 14 in situ , partially inwardly inclined, approximately 1.25 m high bearing stones, but without cap stones. Access comes from the south. The chamber length is about 8.8 m and the width is 1.6 or 2.2 m. The off-center corridor is about 6.9 m long and 0.95 to 1.4 m wide and is made up of 19 supporting stones that are 0.6 to 0.8 m high. The unusually large oval side chamber measures around 3.5 × 1.9 m and has six bearing stones and two cap stones. There are four threshold stones in the entrance .
Nearby is the runestone of Tågerup .
