The stone box of Lundby Bakker (also called Lundby Krat) is located at 83 m high Risbjerg , south of Gistrup at Aalborg in Himmerlands in the North Jutland in Denmark .

The stone box ( Danish Light box ) from the New Stone Age consists of nine partially in two layers lying sidestones and an approximately 2.0 x 2.0 m wide endstone in the northwest half. The 1.0 m high round hill is about 10.0 m in diameter. The only remains of the box could also be one of the grave boxes that are common in Himmerland .

The treasure also contained 109 silver coins of a type which until then was believed to have only been struck in Randers . But 61 of these coins were struck in Aalborg.
