Langdolmen Stenbjerggård
The barrows Stenbjerggård (also Ellested or Lindeskov called) is located north of the road from Ellested of Ørbæk on the Danish island of Funen . It is one of the best preserved long dolmen and with its five chambers (most of them united in a barn bed ) one of the most famous in Denmark.
The one meter high hill, still surrounded by many curb stones, is about 29.0 m long and 10.0 m wide. It was restored in 1939. The chambers are rectangular or polygonal poles without preserved corridors. Neolithic monuments are an expression of the culture and ideology of Neolithic societies. Their origin and function are considered to be the hallmarks of social development.
The large stone grave dates from the Neolithic around 3500–2800 BC. And is a megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK).
