The Runddysse in Fællesskov lies north of Tåstrup (also Tostrup) and west of Aarhus Airport in Djursland in Denmark . It was established between 3500 and 2800 BC. Built by the carriers of the funnel beaker culture (TBK) and has been reused several times , as is normal for megalithic systems of this type. The dolmen has never been archaeologically examined. However, the facility has been restored.

description

The pentagonal chamber of the round dolmen in the mound is almost in the middle of the mound. The facility has an east-facing corridor about 6 m long, the cap stones of which have run out. The mound of earth extends to the lower edge of the only capstone of the 2.7 × 2.6 m large and approximately 1.3 m high chamber, which has the impressive size of 3.3 × 2.3 × 1.3 m and thus for polygonal poles is typical.

During the Bronze Age, small bowls were incorporated into the capstone, but these are difficult to see today. The foot of the hill is surrounded by an almost complete curb ring made of 17 stones.

A few hundred meters to the west, Barkjær lay on an island in the shallow, now silted Korup Lake, which was connected by a narrow opening to Kolindsund , which cut the peninsula into the late Middle Ages. During the Neolithic Age, the land began to rise, and the Kolindsund and adjacent waters were cut off from the sea.

Nearby are the Stenvad dolmen , the dolmen at Dystrup Sø , and the long dolmen Ildbjerggård .
