Runddysse from Ulstrup
The Runddysse of Ulstrup is located near the confluence of the Ulstrupvej in the Skelbyvej, north of the Skelby Church on the Danish island of Zealand . The megalithic complex from the Neolithic was created by the funnel beaker culture (TBK) between 3500 and 2800 BC. Built in BC.
Neolithic monuments are an expression of the culture and ideology of Neolithic societies. Their origin and function are considered to be the hallmarks of social development. The Ulstrup Round Dolmen is a polygonal dolmen . Its huge capstone is 2.7 m long × 2.0 m wide and 0.95 m thick. Around the complex, which has been robbed of its enclosure, an area of around nine by seven meters has been kept free of agricultural cultivation, within which the rest of the hill has also been preserved.
