The Klokkesten von Lyø is a round dysse on the Danish island Lyø . It is not to be confused with the Klokkesten on Lolland .
The free-standing dolmen chamber of the west-east oriented Klokkesten (Eng. Bell stone ) is located in the west of the island on a mound in a small complex with elms that was built in 1920 . Five bearing stones, two on each side, an end stone in the west and a large threshold stone in the chamber opening together with the large cap stone form the 1.8 × 1.2 m inside chamber of the between 3500 and 2800 BC. Megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK) that was created in BC . The capstone that sounds when you hit it with a boulder gave the dolmen its name. There are large, bowl-shaped depressions in the capstone.
On the island are the round dyssers "Lyø Bøjeshøj", "Vesterryds Høj" and Kong Lavses Grav and in the east of the island the "Store Stenshøj".
