Hagbølle passage grave
The transition of grave Hagbølle (also Havbølle or Bogø called) is located near the Lindelse Nor at Humble on Langeland in Denmark . The large stone grave dates from the Neolithic around 3500–2800 BC. And is 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 free-standing remnant of a north-west-south-east oriented passage grave ( Danish Jættestue - German "Riesenstube" ) lies in a remnant of a hill of about 4.0 × 16.0 × 12.0 m, which is greatly reduced on all sides. The north-western end of a roughly rectangular chamber with 4 large supporting stones and parts of the wide intermediate masonry has been preserved . The chamber measures approximately 3.2 × 2.0 m and has an interior height of 1.6 to 1.7 m. The only remaining capstone (remnant) is small, while the chamber is unusually stately despite its rudimentary condition.
