Stenløse By
The large stone grave Stenløse By (also called Stenhøj Jættestue; archive no. 010605-70) is located between Stenløse and Værebro, north of Kildebækvej, south of Gammel Ølstykke in the northeast of the Danish island of Zealand . The megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK) was created in the Neolithic between 3500 and 2800 BC. Neolithic monuments are an expression of the culture and ideology of Neolithic societies. Their origin and function are considered to be the hallmarks of social development.
The approximately north-south oriented edging of the barren bed of this megalithic complex is no longer present except for about 10 stones. The unusually high hill with two chambers is still preserved. The southern chamber, about 2.5 × 1.6 m in size, is overgrown and hidden in the hill. From the northern chamber, an ancient dolmen without a capstone and an abnormally narrow shape, four bearing stones protrude from the surface of the hill.
