description
The Hødysse is a so-called Langdysse in an approximately 1.5 m high mound bed of approximately 30.0 × 8.0 m. About in the middle of the megalithic bed is a chamber with three supporting stones (and an entrance stone) with a high, cube-like, bizarre capstone with a bowl on top, which rises about 1.8 m above the hill. At the southern end of the megalithic bed there are two side stones of a second, but gone, chamber. Apart from the east side, the curbs of the megalithic bed have been preserved, but are mostly not in situ . The dolmen is located on a cultivated field over the Roskilde - fjord .
Around Gundsømagle are also the Thoradysse , Hovdysse and Gulddysse dolmens .
