Slettedalsagre Langhøj
The chamberless Slettedalsagre Langhøj is located in Grønholt Hegn in Grønholt, near Hillerød on the Danish island of Zealand .
The south-east-north-west oriented rectangular megalithic bed is about 19 m long, in the middle 7.0 and at the ends 7.5 m wide, with a border of a total of 31 partly large edge stones (13 in the north, 12 in the south and three each in the East and west). The megalithic complex of the funnel beaker culture (TBK), restored in 1938, has no preserved chamber and no mound, is not one of the 45 Danish complexes of the Hünenbett type without a chamber and is not of the Konens Høj type .
About 170 m away is the 8.5 m long and 7.8 to 8.5 m wide Langdysse of Slettedalsagre, with 14 large curb stones and one of the rare inner circles made of smaller stones, 4.0 m in diameter. Only half of the 10 stones in the circle have been preserved. The chamber is preserved underground. The dolmen was restored in 1938.
