The north-south oriented hill of Langdysse "Vielandshøj" is about 35.15 m long and 21.65 m wide. It encloses two 1.6 m long and 0.95 m wide chambers of Urdolmen , each made of six supporting stones (two each on the long sides). A large capstone lies over the northern chamber. The dolmen of Dreslette and the Langdysse of Nældemose are nearby .
