Langdysse from Løkkeby
The Langdysse of Løkkeby on the Danish island of Langeland is located about one kilometer southeast of Tullebølle at Petersgård. It is a megalithic complex of the funnel beaker culture (TBK) and was created between 3500 and 2800 BC. Chr.
Neolithic monuments are an expression of the culture and ideology of Neolithic societies. Their origin and function are considered to be the hallmarks of social development.
Located on a hill overgrown with old trees, this megalithic complex is one of the most beautiful prehistoric monuments in Langeland. The hill of the dolmen measures approximately 35.0 × 10.0 m. In the middle is a narrow, unexcavated dolmen with a preserved split capstone and four explosive marks. The edging curbs are close together.
