The dolmen of Tårnborg Gods (also called Taarnborg or Halskov) consist of three round and two long dykes, a stone grave and a 1.5 m high loop with a diameter of 15.0 m, north of Korsør on the island of Zealand in Denmark . The megalithic complex from the Neolithic Age (not the Röse) was created by the Funnel Beaker Culture (TBK) between 3500 and 2800 BC. Built in BC.

The round dykes

Runddysse 1 is located 10 meters from a gravel road and 300 meters from the E20 road. It is about 2.0 m high and about 12.0 m in diameter. The hill is overgrown with blackberries, sloes and wild roses. About 10 curbs have been preserved. The top is uneven, there are no signs of a chamber.

Runddysse 2 is located northeast of Runddysse 1 about 25 m from a gravel road and 450 m from the E20 road. Some curbs and traces of a chamber have been preserved.

Runddysse 3 is located north of Runddysse 1, near the railway line and 900 m from the E20 road, next to the two Langdysses. The approximately 2.0 m high hill contains chamber remains, consisting of two long bearing stones in the west and east. The end stones in the south and north are very narrow. The internal dimensions are 1.4 × 0.6 m. There are some curbs.

The Langdyssen

Langdysse 1 is located north of Runddysse 1, close to the railway line and 900 m from the E20 road. In the approximately 1.25 m high, 45.0 m long and 7.0 m wide north-east-south-west oriented hill about 16 stones of the enclosure have been preserved. The chamber consists of two (of four) supporting stones of an ancient dolmen .

Langdysse 2 is located north of Runddysse 1, near the railway line and 900 m from the E20 road. The east-west oriented Langdysse consists of the centrally located, covered round mound of a presumed passage grave from which three cap stones protrude from the mound, the remains of the long border (about a dozen stones) of about 34 × 15 m and the four bearing stones of an ancient dolmen without Capstone.
