Langdysse Kildehøje
The Langdysse Kildehøje (also Søtofte Langdysse or Kildehøj called) is located on the northeastern shore of Gystringe Sø (lake) near the hamlet Kyringe on the Danish island of Zealand . The dolmen dates from the Neolithic around 3500–2800 BC. And is a megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK).
The 1.6 m high megalithic bed measures around 10.0 × 22.5 m. 35 curbs of the hill have been preserved (22 in situ and 13 overturned). The hill has three recessed chambers. The rectangular west chamber has five bearing stones, a threshold stone and a cap stone. The chamber measures approximately 1.7 × 1.0 m and is 1.2 m high on the inside.
The middle chamber has a similar structure, but larger than the western chamber and as a polygonal pole, hexagonal in plan. It measures approximately 2.0 x 2.0 m and is 1.6 m high.
The eastern, also hexagonal chamber measures around 2.0 × 1.5 m and is 1.2 m high. It consists of five bearing stones, a cap stone with a bowl and two gangue stones.
Nearby are a round burial mound and the long and round dyssees of Vielsted .
