Døjringe dolmen
The dolmen of Døjringe are located on Dyssevej or Sorøvey, in Døjringe, near Munke Bjergby , north of Sorø on the Danish island of Zealand . The dolmens date from the Neolithic Age around 3500–2800 BC. And are megalithic systems of the funnel beaker culture (TBK).
Langdysse 1
The north-east-south-west oriented hill of the Langdysse is 1.8 m high, about 39.0 m long and 11.0 m wide. Of the fairly small, more or less relocated and partly earth-covered kerbstones, 31 have been preserved. A chamber with four preserved bearing stones and a capstone lies in the middle of the barn, shifted to the north. The chamber was originally formed by five supporting stones. The large capstone is shifted to one side. In 1891 the hill was still 72.0 m long. The north-eastern end of the hill was already free of curbs and chambers. On this part of the hill is the pit of an abandoned chamber. The now empty remainder of the hill could belong to a completely worn, separate long dyssey.
Langdysse 2
The north-east-south-west oriented hill is about 50 m from the road, south of Langdysse 1. It is 1.7 m high, about 23.0 m long and 11.0 m wide. Of the small curbs, some of which are covered with earth, only ten have been preserved in the west and east. About 7.5 m from the north end there is a deepened, elongated chamber with originally four bearing stones, a threshold stone in the south and a large flat cap stone, which is at the height of the hill.
Runddysse Ballehøj
The 1.7 m high Ballehøj is located on Sorøvey and is the northernmost of the four megalithic structures . The hill measures around 16 × 16 m and, in terms of the location of the eight visible curbs, is more square than round. The centrally located, west-east oriented chamber open to the east is formed by five supporting stones. The capstone is missing.
Runddysse
The 2.6 m high hill is the southernmost. It measures approximately 11.0 × 9.0 m. At the edge of the hill some larger stones can be seen, several secondary relocated stones lie on the hill. In the middle is a north-east-south-west oriented chamber with three bearing stones, a threshold stone and two side corridor stones on which the only capstone rests.
