55 ° 0 ′ 14 "N, 9 ° 57 ′ 22" E

The flatly arched, about 0.5 m high round hill of Runddysse 1 with a diameter of about 9.5 m is well preserved. In the middle of the edgeless hill, the chamber is half sunk in the soil of the hill, so that the tops of the bearing stones are visible. An oval, slightly damaged capstone, 1.5 × 1.7 m, 0.75 m thick, lies on the chamber, which was restored in 1946 by Julius Raklev (1878–1960) and Jens Raben (1880–1960).

Runddysse 2

55 ° 0 ′ 16 ″ N, 9 ° 57 ′ 3 ″ E

The arched, approximately 2.0 m high round hill of Runddysse 2 with a diameter of about 16.0 m is well preserved. In the middle of the edgeless hill lies an excavated dolmen without a capstone. The small chamber consists of three large, equally high, U-shaped stones and a flat threshold stone about 0.6 m deeper on the southeast side. The chamber is filled with earth up to the top of the threshold stone.

The flat, round hill of Runddysse 3 lies on a natural hill about 13.0 m in diameter. The top of a large stone, probably the capstone of a chamber, is visible.

Langdysse 1 is a small, northwest-southeast oriented, approximately 1.0 m high, well-preserved, rectangular barn bed of 7.0 × 24 m. Six curb stones have been preserved in the middle of the northern long side and one at the east end. Approximately in the middle of the hill, the rectangular, capstone-free chamber of an ancient dolmen measuring 1.45 × 0.65 m with a height of 0.85 m, consisting of six supporting stones, lies as a parallel lair .

Langdysse 2

55 ° 0 ′ 26 "N, 9 ° 56 ′ 56" E

Langdysse 2 is 0.5 m high and about 20.0 m long, but badly damaged. The width is difficult to identify, it can be 6.0 m. In the northeast and southwest there are lying or standing curbs. The chamber left no traces.
