Passage grave of Rugkrog
The passage grave of Rugkrog (also called Rugkrogen) is in the west of the Nørreskov, in Bregninge in the north of the island Tåsinge in the region Syddanmark in Denmark . The passage 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 ) (Tåsinge Monuments No. 44) lies on sloping terrain in an irregular 1.5 m high hill 15.0 m long with a stone pavement and the remains of an oval chamber 2.2 × 8.0 m. A large stone, possibly a capstone, lies on top of the chamber. A similar stone lies on the floor 1.5 m in front of the chamber. In the southeast side of the chamber there is a 1.2 m wide opening between the supporting stones, which should be the access to the chamber, but neither the supporting stones nor the cap stones of the corridor are present. Nothing is known about the finds made. Several megaliths can be seen around the chamber, some of which may be in-situ curbs of the hill.
