Runddysse from Ubberup

The Ubberup Runddysse is located about 100 m from Ubberupvej, east of Ugerløse, south of Holbæk 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 north-south oriented 1.0 m high hill of the round dysse ( dolmen ), sometimes also called Langdysse, measures around 14.0 × 12.0 m. In the middle there is an elongated chamber about 1.0 m high (measuring about 1.5 × 0.8 m) made of three bearing stones, a threshold stone in the east and a capstone. There are some preserved curbs on the hill.

The Langdysse 3 from Nørre Vallenderød is nearby .
