Korsør dolmen
The Korsør dolmen are located in the long, coastal Lystskov (forest) southeast of Korsør on the Danish island of Zealand . They date from the Neolithic Age 3500–2800 BC. And are megalithic systems of the funnel beaker culture (TBK).
The Langdysse (also called Afd.29) is about 40.0 m long and 7.0 m wide. The megalithic bed is framed by 47 preserved curbstones (around 20 are missing). A somewhat decentralized location is a 1.6 m high chamber of a recognizable type, consisting of three preserved supporting stones and a capstone. This bears clear traces of an attempted explosion.
A round dysse is located 180 m to the southwest. The trapezoidal ancient dolmen consists of three supporting stones and the capstone. It is unclear whether two other stones in front of the entrance belong to a corridor.
