Passage grave in Tingskov
The small passage grave in Tingskov (forest) (also called flegum), restored in 2013, is located near the edge of the forest west of Trindbjerg manor on Hovedlandvej, north of the Limfjord , near Torslev in Jammerbugt Municipality on the island of Vendsyssel-Thy in Denmark . The complex was built between 3500 and 2800 BC. BC as a megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK). 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 chamber of the passage grave is covered by an approximately 2.0 m high mound of earth with a diameter of 16 m. The approximately 2.5 × 1.0 m measuring chamber consists of three bearing stones and a capstone and can be reached from an opening in the top of the hill. The chamber marked as jættestue on the local topographic maps was probably partially or completely excavated in 1939 or a little later.
In the vicinity outside the forest are two round hills and the stone box in Tværkær Topbak Høj, and in the forest is the stone circle of Søhøje.
