Langben Rises Høj
Langben Rises Høj is a long dolmen excavated in 1588 by Heinrich Rantzau (1526–1598) in search of a giant in the Birkende Skov (forest) of Radhuse , southeast of the railway line from Ringsted to Roskilde in the extreme southwest of the Ramsø municipality on the island of Zealand in Denmark . It dates from the Neolithic around 3500 BC. And is a megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK).
The north-east-south-west oriented long dyssey is about 52.4 m long and 9.5 m wide. It is framed by 45 kerbstones that have been completely preserved in parts. About 11.5 m from the northeastern end there is a disturbed 1.5 m long chamber lying lengthways in the hill. The remainder of the chamber still consists of 3 supporting stones, without a capstone. There are traces of two other chambers in the hill.
