Langdysse in Avnede Skov
The Langdysse in Avnede Skov is located in a small forest southwest of Store Avnede, east of Nakskov on the island of Lolland in Denmark . It dates from the Neolithic Age around 3500 to 2800 BC. And is a megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK).
The roughly north-west-south-east oriented 35 × 6 m large mound bed of the Langdysse has 62 preserved, occasionally tilted curb stones. In addition to the preserved chamber of an ancient dolmen , consisting of three supporting stones and a capstone, measuring approximately 1.75 × 1.0 m , as a parallel bar, about 11 m from the end, there are two further places with large stones that point to the chambers that have left the building.
The Nakskov Ladegaard long dyssey and the Østensminde megalithic complex are nearby .
