Knäbäcksdlocken
The Knäbäcksdösen is a dolmen ( Swedish dös ) or a stone box in a 0.5 m high hill with a diameter of about 10 m on the military training area northeast of Brösarp in Skåne in Sweden . It is located in the middle of an area measuring 50 × 50 m, bounded by a stone wall and a barn.
Nine curb stones of the hill, 0.4 to 0.9 m high, 0.7 to 1.1 m wide and 0.3 to 0.7 m thick, have been preserved. In the middle are two angular blocks 0.6 or 0.7 m high, 1.1 or 1.8 m wide and 0.4 or 0.6 m thick, which were probably side stones of a stone box . A third block, believed to have originally been between the standing blocks, was moved to the edge of the hill between 1926 and 1929. Both Nils G. Bruzelius (1826–1896) around 1870 and Holm 1926 saw ceiling stones between the side stones and the eight main stones of the edge chain. A little later, Hansen only found the nine remaining stones, but no more cap stones.
Nearby is the cemetery at Vitemölla .
