Long columns of ramps
The south-west-north-east oriented Langdolmen von Rampen (also called Hejselt Langdysse 1, or DKC SB 100211-264) is a long dysse in Danish and with a length of about 125.0 m is one of the longest megalithic beds in Denmark . The megalithic complex is located near Voers Å near Brønderslev in Vendsyssel in North Jutland . It dates from the Neolithic around 3500–2800 BC. And is a plant of the funnel beaker culture (TBK).
The width of the damaged facility varies between 9 and 17 m. The height of the earth wall, almost completely deprived of its curbs, is about two meters. The complex contained two dolmens . One chamber was completely destroyed. When H. Friis discovered and examined the facility in 1912, he found the second, rectangular chamber in the eastern part of the hill with access in the southeast. A flint ax and amber beads were found here.
