Hyldedysse from Rørby
The Hyldedysse von Rørby (also called Hyldehøj) is a double- aisle grave ( Danish Dobbeltjættestue ) north of Rørby in the Kalundborg region on Zealand in Denmark . It originated between 3500 and 2800 BC. And is a megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK). The passage grave is a form of Neolithic megalithic systems, which consists of a chamber and a structurally separated, lateral passage. This form is primarily found in Denmark, Germany and Scandinavia, as well as occasionally in France and the Netherlands. Neolithic monuments are an expression of the culture and ideology of Neolithic societies. Their origin and function are considered to be the hallmarks of social development. A polygonal pole of the same name is located in Gadstrup near Roskilde .
