Stone box from Porsagergård
The Porsagergård Stone Box (also called Pårup Stone Box) is located in Pårup , between Gilleleje and Græstad in Gribskov Municipality , in the north of the Danish island of Zealand , about 20 m north of road 251.
The east-west oriented stone box ( Danish Hellekiste ) is around 3.1 m long and 1.0 m wide on the outside. The internal dimensions are 2.75 × 0.65 m. It is built from stones that are only 20-25 cm tall, the flat side of which faces the interior. The sides consist of six or seven stones. A larger stone forms the west wall, a slightly smaller one the curved east gable. 3–4 stones are arranged behind it. On the southern long side there is a large stone that probably belongs to the box because the cap stone is missing. The grave space is filled with earth up to 15 cm from the top. The stone box is in a small fenced area with no vegetation.
