Pyldbørsdyssen

The Pyldbørsdyssen east of Hjallerup in Vendsyssel in Denmark has not been excavated, so it is unclear from what time the hill, which is classified as a dolmen by name, comes from.

The approximately 93.0 meter long hill either dates from the Neolithic Age (3500–2800 BC), then at least one stone chamber would have to be hidden in the hill, or it is a burial mound from the Early Bronze Age (1800–1000 BC) . Bronze Age long dolmen almost always consist of a series of assembled round mounds. Each of these round mounds can contain one or more graves and there can also be burials between the round mounds.

The two hills east of Pyldbørsdyssen, called "Galgehøje" ( German  "Gallows Hill " ) and a hill to the west are from the Early Bronze Age in terms of shape and size, which could also classify the long hill in time. Men, women and children of the leading families of the communities lie in Bronze Age mounds. Pyldbørsdyssen and the surrounding hills have deep craters that are from ancient looting.
