Langdysse of skeletal overballs
The Langdysse von Skelde Overballe (also called Skeldehøjen ) is located near Skelde, in Broager Land, in southern Jutland in Denmark .
The relatively well-preserved Neolithic , roughly west-east oriented megalithic bed with an ancient dolmen at the western end is a between 3500 and 2800 BC. A megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK) was built in the 4th century and was partially excavated in 1991.
The long rectangular Urdolmen consists of six bearing stones and had no recognizable entrance. The capstone is missing. Two partially preserved collar bottles were found in the chamber .
On the barrow ( Danish Langdysse ) a largely worn was Bronze Age Roese (Period II) found. The large round burial mound covered the barrow with the exception of the western end. The round hill used to be surrounded by a curb ring made of particularly large stones. There is no evidence of a central burial for which this hill was designed, but the grave of an ornate woman was found on the northwest side of the hill. It contained spiral earrings made of gold, neck and bottom rings of bronze , bronze spirals, spiral plates, a tutulus , spiral beads of gold and a blue glass bead .
On the eastern side of the hill was a Bronze Age urn grave with no grave goods.
After the investigation, the system was partially reconstructed.
