The 1954 excavated and restored passage grave Gåsesten ( Danish Gåsestenen ) is located in the remains of his round hill at Pugholmvej north of Emmelev and Odense in nordfyn municipality on the Danish island of Funen .
The passage grave ( Danish: Jættestue ) is a form of Neolithic megalithic systems, which consists of a chamber and a structurally separated, lateral passage. This form is primarily found in Denmark, Germany and Scandinavia, as well as occasionally in France and the Netherlands. The Gåsesten ( German goose stone ) dates from the Neolithic around 3000 BC. And is a megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK).
The pear-shaped, north-south oriented chamber consists of seven bearing stones, between which dry masonry is partially preserved. The two capstones are still in situ . At least two bowls can be seen on the northern one. In the corridor that extends to the east, two pairs of side stones and a capstone can be seen directly in front of the chamber.
Amber , flint artifacts , ceramics and weak skeletal traces were recognized in the chamber , which come from the TBK and the late Neolithic individual grave culture .
