Knudsskov Enghave

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Langdysse von Knudsskov Enghave is located about 1.5 km southeast of the megalithic complex in Knudsskov on the north side of the road west of the private house (Knud Skovvej No. 52) on Knudshoved Odde on the Danish island of Zealand .

The almost east-west oriented megalithic bed is surrounded by an almost uninterrupted border of 35 curbs and contains two transverse, originally closed, ancient dolms .

The western chamber is narrow and rectangular, with 3 supporting stones preserved in situ . The raised capstone is on the hill east of the chamber.

In the case of the eastern chamber, it is more difficult to determine how the chamber originally looked.

The dolmen was placed under protection in 1878. There is no information about when the mound was discovered or whether any finds were made.
