Parallel and transverse lying

The unique Dobbeltdysse of Oleskobbel is located in the forest east of Asserballe near Sønderborg on the island of Alsen in Denmark . The large stone grave dates from the Neolithic around 3500–2800 BC. And is a megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK).

The north-west-south-east oriented hill of the Dobbeltdysse is about 30.0 m long and 14.0 m wide. It is surrounded by 96 curbs. The approximately 1.5–2.0 m high hill is traversed by a double row of stones in the middle, lengthways.

Approximately in the middle of each half of the hill is an open dolmen chamber, in the southern hill as a longitudinal or parallel lay, in the north as a transverse lay.

The approximately 1.8 m long and 0.8 m wide southern chamber consists of four bearing stones. In the east is the lowest, it represents the threshold stone. The chamber is about 1.0 m deep.

The north chamber also consists of four stones.

Nearby is Blommeskobbel .

Individual evidence

  1. ↑ Dysse is the name commonly used in Denmark for dolmens , which are almost exclusively located in round or long hills. The Dobbeltdysse in the Oleskobbel (forest) is the only known long dolmen that was listed as an immediately adjacent double giant bed . In addition, it seems to be a very early copy.
