Brattås passage grave
The passage grave of Brattås (also called Röra Gånggrift - RAÄ-Nr Röra 39: 1 (4) dates back to the Neolithic around 3500–2800 BC and is a megalithic complex of the Funnel Beaker Culture (TBK). It is located southwest of Brattås in the parish of Röra , southwest of Henån on the Swedish island of Orust in Bohuslän . The passage grave is a type of Neolithic megalithic system, which consists of a chamber and a structurally separated, lateral passage. This form is primarily in Denmark, Germany and Scandinavia, as well as isolated in France and the Find the Netherlands.
The passage grave ( Swedish passage grave ) lies in its hill, but the capstone is raised next to the approximately four-meter-long chamber, which was accessed in the middle of a non-preserved passage. Narrow intermediate masonry has been preserved between the closely spaced supporting stones of the chamber . Two of the stones have bowls .
The Brattås dolmen is about 100 m away .
