Bejstrup Ravnsten

The Runddysse Bejstrup Ravnsten (also called Ravsten - dt. Rabenstein - DKC 100702-8 or Bejstrup SB 8) is a rectangular dolmen in the middle of the Udlodden field, in the south of Bejstrup , near the Limfjord in the Nordjylland region near Hjørring in Denmark . The round dolmen was built between 3500 and 2800 BC. BC as a megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK).

The approximately 2.0 × 1.0 m measuring chamber of the rectangular spar was built from four very large orthostats and an imposing capstone. Some bowls are on the top of the northeastern orthostat. The curb circle is largely destroyed because the farmer plowed very close to the chamber.
