Sønderhav Langdysse

The Sønderhav Langdysse (also Hønsnap Skov afd called 710 -.. Under this number firmieren four more dolmens ) located north of the Flensburg Fjord in South Jutland in Denmark .

There are around 30 circular and long dyssers in the Sønderhavskovene (southern harbor forests) along the fjord. Most of the megalithic monuments can be reached from the 8.2 km mark on the coastal road. Here on the edge of Hønsnap Skov, immediately east of the parking lot, lies a north-south oriented, approximately 20.0 m long and 5.5 m wide barren bed with a border of 52 stones, in which one stone could be a building stone added later .

The other Langdysse in Hønsnap Skov "Afd. 710" (also called Sønderhav) is near the Oesedvej at Holbøl. The north-south oriented Langdysse has an approximately 26.0 m long, 8.0 m wide and up to 1.5 m high hunebeds in the middle as a parallel lier the approximately 2.0 m long, 0.6 m wide and 1, 0 m deep chamber of an ancient dolmen lies. Bearing stones on each side and at each end are in situ , while the capstone (s) are missing. About 5.0 m from the northern end there is a hole in the hill with the remains of a second chamber. There are 12 curbs around the southern end of the megalithic bed.

Nearby is the Sønderhav Rundhøj (also called Hønsnap Skov Afd. 710). In 1997, the Haderslev Museum found five previously unknown megalithic structures in Rinkenæs .
