Runddysse from Vangsgård
The Runddysse of Vangsgård is located between Gærum and Kilden , west of Frederikshavn in Himmerland in Jutland in Denmark . It dates from the Neolithic Age around 3500–2800 BC. And is a megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK).
The north-south oriented rectangular chamber of the Runddysse consists of five supporting stones and is covered by a large capstone. A few bearing stones of the corridor have been preserved. The access is in the south. The chamber is 3.8 m long while the width is between 1.3 and 1.4 m. The 1.8 m wide capstone covers the northern 2.45 m of the chamber, the height of which is 0.9 m. The stone monument is still largely embedded in a well-preserved round hill about 3.0 m high and about 20.0 m in diameter. Its curbs can be covered by slipped hill material.
