Lundby passage grave
The passage grave of Lundby is located north of Lundby , near Næstved in the south of the island of Zealand in Denmark .
The rectangular north-south-oriented chamber of the passage grave measures approximately 7.0 × 2.0 m. An approximately 6.0 m long corridor with seven pairs of bearing stones opens to the east. Apart from the only surviving capstone above the inner part of the corridor, all capstones from the chamber and corridor are missing. On the hill, near the chamber, there are six remains of capstones. In the chamber, all but one in the southeast corner have been preserved, so that the basic plan is almost intact. The partially preserved hill of the passage grave was framed by a chain of curb stones, all of which have disappeared. A few larger stones on the hill could represent remains.
Most of the approximately 2800 megalithic structures in Denmark have been damaged by several stones . But this is only about 10% of the between about 3500 and 2800 BC. Plants built by the people of the Funnel Beaker Culture (TBK). The former location of around 7,000 other plants is known through reports.
The area around the passage grave - especially in the west - in Lundby, Køng and along Køng Å is rich in finds, especially the Maglemose habitat, which gave the Maglemose culture (9500-6500 BC) its name.
Lundby's passage grave was protected in 1940.
