Codams

Kodammen (also called KODAM) is the residue of a dolmen that looks like a collection of boulders , at the edge of Ådalen, about west of Nørager in Jutland Djursland in Denmark .

The chamber consists of a large stone in the north, the side stones in the west and east and a stone in the south. The inside of the chamber measures approximately 1.5 × 1.5 m. The external dimensions are approximately 4.2 × 3.0 m. One of the side blocks was not moved, but was transported to this point by glaciers . The rest of the chamber was built around him. There is a bowl-shaped depression on the north side of the end stone .

In 1964, the chamber, which is on private property and not accessible, was examined.
