Hagan's passage tomb
The passage grave of Hagan ( Swedish Hagan Gånggrift - also called Brastad 91: 1), dates from the Neolithic around 3500–2800 BC. BC and is a megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK). It is located northwest of the hamlet Sandwick (also Hagen), west of Brastad near the end of the Brofjorden in the northeast of Lysekils kommun in Bohuslän in Sweden .
The heavily overgrown, unexcavated passage grave consists of the only visible capstone measuring around 3.0 × 1.75 m, which lies on some orthostats that barely protrude from the well-preserved hill . The megalithic complex is listed as a passage grave, but the only, albeit enormously large, capstone makes this assessment uncertain.
The megalithic complexes of Rixö and Vinbräckastenen are located nearby .
