Grimskærdysse
The Grimskærdysse , to the north of the parish of Kirke Stillinge on the Danish island of Zealand , is an almost perfectly preserved round dysse, with two of the 24 curbs tilted outwards from the oval border. The complex was built between 3500 and 2800 BC. BC as a megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK).
description
The dolmen has a roughly northwest-southeast oriented rectangular chamber of about 1.5 × 0.8 meters with two bearing stones in situ , two tilted bearing stones, a relocated cap stone and a threshold stone in the southeast. The largest bearing stone has about a dozen bowls on the edge of the upper side, which were applied when the cap stone was still in situ. At least seven bowls can be seen on the threshold stone. Of the 24 or 25 curbs, 22 are in situ.
About 500 meters away is another compact round dyssey, consisting of four preserved stones, the curbs of which, however, have not been preserved. About 2.5 kilometers away is the Breddysse , a round dysse with two chambers.
