Langdysse from Allerslev
The north-west-south-east oriented Langdysse of Allerslev is located in a green area next to the Allerslev Skole (school) on Bispegårdsvej in Lejre on the Danish island of Zealand . The Langdysse comes from the Neolithic around 3000 BC. And is a megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK).
description
The approximately 2.0 m high hill with a pair of oaks measures 22 × 15 m. There are some curbs on the hill. In 1883, the archaeologist BK Bahnson wrote of 18 preserved curb stones and stones that were removed, especially in the east. Almost all of the stones were placed with the smooth side out. In the middle of the hill there is a larger stone in the ground, which seems to belong to a (not excavated) chamber of an unknown type.
An ax ( Danish pålstav ) from the early Bronze Age was found between the curbs . It must come from a subsequent use in the Bronze Age.
Nearby are the seven- mound series of hills of Lejre and the passage grave of Øm .
