Langdysse in Roden Skov

The Langdysse in Roden Skov (also called Taagense Skov, Afd. 4) is located on the southern edge of the forest in Nysted Lan, near Vantore in the southeast of Lolland in Denmark . The megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK) was created between 3500 and 2800 BC. Chr.

description

The approximately 22.0 × 6.75 m, approximately 0.8 m high, west-east oriented megalithic bed of the Langdysse has three rectangular, parallel chambers of ancient dolmen with large, but displaced capstones. Twenty-five of the edging stones of the hill have survived, about five are missing.

The curbs on the long sides are highest in the west and get smaller to the east. As with Kong Grøns Høj , the curbs on the narrow sides are a little bit inside the long sides. About 1.5 m from the western curb is a transverse row of stones of smaller size.

Chamber 1 is about 3.5 meters - Chamber 2 about 7.5 m - and Chamber 3 about 17.5 m from the east side.

Chamber 1 is about 1.0 m long, 40 cm wide and has four bearing stones. The capstone is shifted diagonally to the southeast. Chamber 2 is about 1.20 long, 0.5 m wide, 0.75 m deep and has four bearing stones. The capstone is east of the chamber. Chamber 3 is the largest. Its length is about 1.2 m, the width is over 0.75 m and the depth is about 1.0 m. It has four bearing stones. The capstone is on the hill north of the chamber.

To the east lies the Langdysse Stegens Odde, close to the sea.
