Ennebølle megalithic sites

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The megalithic complexes of Ennebølle 1 + 2 (also called Endebølle Jættestue and Endebølle Kirken) are closely adjacent (about 170 m) southwest of Snøde on the Danish island of Langeland . The megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK) originated between 3500 and 2800 BC. Chr.

Endebølle 1 - Langdysse

Ennebølle 1

Ennebølle 1 are the remains of a Langdysse with two polygonal towers , one intact, the other partially preserved, but both without cap stones on the north-south oriented chambers. None of the curbs on the hill have survived. The remainder of the hill, 1.5 m high, measures about 11.0 × 8.0 m, is roughly triangular and oriented roughly northwest-southeast. Of the chambers, the northern one, consisting of five bearing stones up to 1.4 m high, between which a gap of exceptionally well-preserved dry stone masonry can be seen, is well preserved in the western part. Its internal dimensions are 1.75 × 1.75 m. The eastern part of the chamber and the passage are missing. The south chamber measures 2.5 × 2.0 m inside. It consists of eight bearing stones up to 1.5 m high. Three dry stone walls have been preserved between the bearing stones of the chamber. In the east there is an approximately 3.0 m long corridor, which is covered on the chamber side by a large in-situ capstone. The outer capstone is missing. The corridor consists of two pairs of supporting stones with a height of more than 1.0 meters. A stone (possibly a capstone) lies north of the passage on the hill. The systems were examined by H. Berg, LMR.

Despite its rudimentary nature, the monument serves as an illustrative example of a polygonal pole.

Endebølle Kirken - passage grave

Ennebølle 2
