Langdysse by Gallemose Stensgaard

The Langdysse von Gallemose Stensgaard (also called Stensgaard) is located in the field west of Stokkemarke and east of the Gallemosevej, near Maribo 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 rectangular west-east oriented megalithic bed of the Langdysse is around 1.8 m high and measures around 49.0 × 10.0 meters. The curbs: 17 in the north, 21 in the south, three in the east and four in the west are largely preserved. About 2.5 m from the east end there is a transverse, pear-shaped chamber 1.5 m high with a recessed entrance (on the hill) in the south. The relocated capstone has about 30 bowls .
