Langdysse of Statene
The north-west-south-east oriented Langdysse von Statene (also called Kumlehøj von Herslev) is located south of the village, 150 m away in the field east of the road, on the Danish island of Langeland . The Langdysse comes from the Neolithic Age around 3500 to 2800 BC. And is a megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK). A little to the south are the megalithic complexes of Herslev .
The approximately 23.0 m long and 11.0 m wide megalithic bed was originally larger. The hill has been largely plowed and the curbs are missing. He has two pear-shaped passage grave chambers with remarkable deck stones. The northern one measures 4.5 × 2.0 m, the southern 3.0 × 2.9 m with a 2 m long corridor in which there is a threshold stone. The long dolmen has not been investigated.
