Langdysse in Enemærket

The Langdysse in Enemærket located in the forest Enemærket southeast of Diernæs, northeast of Katterød and Åstrup, on the Danish island of Funen . It dates from the Neolithic Age around 3500 to 2800 BC. And is a megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK).

The approximately 0.7 × 1.5 m measuring free-standing chamber of the north-east-south-west oriented rectangular pole with shifted capstone consists of five bearing stones and a low threshold stone in the south-west. There are about a dozen small bowls on the top of the sloping capstone . Only remnants of the 11.0 m long hill and its border have been preserved.

The Langdysse in Enemærket is around 30 m away and has a similar, somewhat longer chamber.
