Søster-Svenstrup Videdysse
The Søster-Svenstrup Videdysse remains an only in the middle part Langdysse . It lies between trees in a garden on Møllevej in Dåstrup west of Birkede, near Viby on the island of Zealand in Denmark . There are several plants with this name in Denmark (e.g. Videdysse in Horserød Hegn and Videdysse in Viby near Roskilde ).
The north-east-south-west oriented residual hill, preserved only in the central part, measures around 5.0 × 8.0 m. 16 curb stones have been preserved in situ from the edge of the hill (especially in the northeast) . About another two dozen tilted or relocated curbs surround the giant bed or lie on top . In the area of both ends, the megalithic bed was built over with round mounds with a diameter of about 5.0 m in the past and was disturbed in the process. In the middle part there is an ancient dolmen as a parallel lair. Three bearing stones and the capstone of a small elongated chamber are preserved.
In the vicinity are the Birkede Langdyssen 1 + 2, the Kokholm Dyssen , the Søster-Svenstrup Langdysse 2 and the Søster-Svenstrup Runddysse .
