Tangvall stone chest
The stone box of Tangvall (also Søgne videregående skole called) is a displaced stone box from the early Iron Age . It is located about 80 meters from the Runestone of Søgne southeast of Tangvall in the garden of Søgne-farm, a College of Agriculture in Fylke Agder in southwestern Norway is. The stone box was originally under a ring about 18.0 m in diameter and 2.0 m high at the Tangvall school. There are only 12 Neolithic stone boxes (Norwegian. Hellekister or Hellegraver ) in Norway, while they are particularly common in Sweden with over 2000 and partly come from the Funnel Beaker Culture (TBK).
It was reconstructed with the four small stones along the edges of a square and the ring of larger stones around the edges, but without the cairn.
The stone box consists of five plates, two smaller ones on the shorter sides and two longer ones on the long sides and a large cap stone. Around the box stands the reconstructed ring made of larger boulders with four clearly pointed higher stones that lie on the axes. They are about 90 cm high and 30 cm wide. A small plaster from the outside edge of the hill to the stone box is not original.
