Runddysse from Ormstup

The Runddysse von Ormstrup (also known as Kissemosemarken, Knepholm or Tryggelev) is located southwest of Tryggelev on the Danish island of Langeland . The dolmen dates from the Neolithic around 3500–2800 BC. And is a megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK).

The large, multi-colored capstone-like monolith rests on the hill and covers the remains of the unexamined chamber, the construction of which cannot be seen.

The Ormstrup Long Dolmen is about 600 m away .
