Passage grave of Klavsebølle

The confusing remainder of the passage grave of Klavsebølle (also called Klausebølle or "Kong Holms Høj") is north of Klavsebøllevej in Tullebølle in the north of the Danish island of Langeland . It originated in the Neolithic between 3500 and 2800 BC. BC as a plant 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.

In the north-eastern part of a plowed hill is the rest of the north-south-oriented chamber of a free-standing passage grave , consisting of 7–8 bearing stones and 1–2 passage stones. In the chamber there is a large intermediate masonry area at the transition to the passage .
