The Runddysse of Færgegården , also called Søsum Runddysse (1) , is located in a field in the Færgelunden Forest behind the Frederikssund Museum (formerly known as Egnsmuseet Færgegården), west of Frederikssund across the Crown Prince Frederiks Bridge from 1893 on the other side of the Roskilde -Fjord on the Danish island of Zealand . The dolmen dates from the Neolithic around 3500–2800 BC. And is a megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK).

The Runddysse is in good condition, the capstone is still on the supporting stones, there are some other stones standing or lying next to it. The location is visible from the nearby road. The dolmen is protected as a historical monument.
