Sømarkedyssen
Sømarkedyssen is a megalithic complex on a hill east of the village of Sømarke on Stendyssevej (Steindolmenweg) in the east of the island of Møn in Denmark . The octagonal polygonal pole is made from boulders with the very large capstone, which is distinctive for the type. The protruding capstone of the short entrance is famous for its, according to the latest research, more than 450 bowls , which probably date from the Bronze Age . 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.
