Runddysse from Sigerslevvester

The Sigerslevvester Runddysse is located in the field southwest of Sigerslevvester, east of road 211, north of Frederikssund 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).

Five curb stones have been preserved from the 0.8 m high, slightly oval round hill measuring 9.0 × 8.0 m. Other stones are scattered on the hill. The north-west-south-east oriented chamber of the Urdolmen consists of three bearing stones (the fourth side is open) and the protruding capstone.

The passage graves of Græse are nearby .
