Of the approximately 500 preserved passage graves in Denmark, there are only 30 with side chambers , in Germany, the Netherlands, Poland and Sweden, the other countries with Nordic megalithic architecture, there are none at all. The megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK) was created between 3500 and 2800 BC. Chr.
The north-south oriented main chamber was rectangular, about 5.0 m long and 2.0 m wide. Its sides consist of 13 bearing stones, between which there was dry masonry . The rectangular side chamber in the north wall is not in the middle but slightly offset to the west. It was built of four stones, about six feet long and three feet wide. The floor of the main and secondary chambers and the corridor was paved with flat field stones. The approximately 4.0 m long corridor is built from ten bearing stones.
The finds consisted of amber pearls and some shards. In the corner between the main and side chambers lay a charred building sacrifice and parts of a Troldbjerg ceramic.
The passage grave of Gamskær and the burial box of Kobberup are nearby .
