Målerhøj
The Målerhøj (also Målerøj) between Hårbølle and Vindebæk , south of the Danish island of Møn is about 3500 years ago, in the early Bronze Age erected grave mound .
During the Stone Age , the land to the southeast and southwest of the hill was covered by the sea. It only got its current character due to the postglacial land elevation . Today the hill is about 31.0 m above sea level. In the past, the area was connected to Julbjerg north of the hill. There used to be at least three similar hills on Julbjerg. There were also lower hills south of Målerhøj.
The approximately 3.0 m high hill with a diameter of around 20.0 m has never been archaeologically examined. Before 1880, urns with burnt bones were registered, which fit well into the younger Bronze Age (see e.g. Øster Brøndehøj ). Two trenches to the west and northwest are still visible. It is certain that the urn graves mentioned were found here.
Nearby is Grønjægers Høj .
