Langdysse in Karskov
The Langdysse in Karskov (also called Karskovdyssen or Snøde Hesselbjerg ) is located in a forest east of Tressebølle and south of Snøde on Langeland in Denmark . The funnel beaker culture (TBK) was built between 3500 and 2800 BC. Chr.
The giant bed of the Langdysse , consisting of a border of 28 stones, was restored in 1953, with some fallen stones being erected. In the middle of the long bed there is a transverse chamber, consisting of 5 supporting stones, two on each long side and one end stone. The cap stones and the mound material are missing. The chamber measures 1.9 × 0.5 m. At the end of the edging is an upright, rounded stone, around which several larger stones are grouped, probably from a second chamber.
