Hostrupskov passage grave
The transition of grave Hostrupskov ( Danish Hostrupskov Jættestue - also Elise Lund or Elise Lund called) lies on Dyssevej, south map of Hostrupskov, southeast of Aabenraa in Jutland in Denmark in an approximately 1.25 m high oval round hills of about 14.0 × 11.0 Meters. It originated in the Neolithic between 3500 and 2800 BC. The passage grave is a construction form of Neolithic megalithic systems of the funnel cup culture (TBK), 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 hill is surrounded by a ring of 35 curb stones from 0.75 to 1.25 m high. In the middle is a chamber made of eight bearing stones and two preserved stones from the east-facing corridor. Part of a capstone has been preserved above the northwest corner of the chamber. The small chamber measures around 1.7 × 1.1 m.
To the south in the forest are four more or less well-preserved Runddyssen (round dolmen ).
