Individual evidence

1. ↑ Runddysse is the name commonly used in Denmark for dolmens that are located in a round hill. In contrast, dolmens in a barren bed are called Langdysse. In Germany it is not customary to give names that include the hill, since the vast majority of the hills were already removed before the names were introduced.
