Bygholm Nørremark
The Bygholm Nørremark site (also called Nørremark Haraldshøj) was originally a “Konens Høj” facility .
location
It is located west of Horsens south of Silkeborgvej, in Vejle municipality in Jutland in Denmark . So far, only about a dozen systems of this type are known, which were initially only examined in Jutland and on Fyn (one system) and Schleswig-Holstein, so that the database for the northern group of the funnel beaker culture (TBK) is small.
description
In Bygholm Nørremark (and in Fakkemose) two phases can be seen. The younger one, in which the tomb was surrounded by the curbs of a barn bed with a dolmen , covered an older phase, within which there was a tomb, connected with several post structures and surrounded by a west-east oriented trapezoidal palisade.
The remains of a 13- to 15-year-old boy were discovered during a renewed excavation of the oldest Danish complex next to Barkjaer in Bygholm Nørremark. He was probably killed by the flint arrow that was found in the chest. The trapezoidal structure is a trench structure, on the bottom of which there were high, closely set posts like palisades. The approximately 71 m long trapezoid is about 13 m wide at the wide end and four meters wide at the narrow end. In the center was a wooden coffin that rested on stones. The cremated skeletons of four adults, made up of two pairs, had been buried with their feet together. No grave goods were found, which is usually an indication of a building sacrifice and not a burial. The remains of a meal were found near the small tombs that lay within the enclosure. The remains of a beaker from the Fuchsberg stage have been recorded near the base . Also, a radiocarbon dating of the facade construction was carried out with the result, it dates from the period 3780-3360 v. Chr.
Bygholm Nørremark's hoard was recovered in a gravel pit as early as 1924 . The find opened the way to the allocation of further individual finds in the earliest European metal age (4500 to 3750 BC).
The passage grave of Lovby Kirketomt is nearby .
