Hofterupdoze
The Hofterupsdösen is a dolmen ( Swedish Döse ). It dates from the Neolithic Age around 3500–2800 BC. BC and is a megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK). It is located in the field about 1.0 km east of the church of Hofterup on Stendösvägen in Kävlinge in Skåne in Sweden .
It consists of four roughly 1.2 × 1.2 meters large boulders , which form a chamber that is open to the south and covered with a capstone of 1.3 × 1.8 × 1.0 m, which was probably originally longer. So-called bowls were found on the top of the capstone . The dolmen was originally covered with a round or rectangular mound.
About 7.0 km south of the Hofterupsdösen is the passage grave Gillhög .
