Ubby 1

Ubby 1 (also Dysselodden is called) a passage grave ( Danish Jættestue ) of the Funnel Beaker Culture (TBK -. 3500-2800 BC.) On Dyssevej, near Ugerløse, west of Ubby , on the Danish island of Zealand . It has a remarkably precise chamber.

The passage grave lies in a hill in the garden of a house. The chamber consists of nine particularly closely set supporting stones (almost without any intermediate masonry) and two very large cap stones. The preserved inner corridor area consists of four stones. The passage graves at Ubby are megalithic systems from the Neolithic Age . Ubby 1 was found in 1845 when Lars Eriksen was digging in the mound. When he removed the door stone, he was able to enter a floating chamber with skeletal parts and earthenware. The height of the chamber is 2.4 meters, which is unusually high. Two of the stones are twin stones; H. two pieces of the same stone block. Christian Cornelius Lerche-Lerchenborg (1798–1852) had the chamber protected. Nearby are the passage graves Ubby Grønhøj (65 m away), Ubby Jættestue 2 (300 m away) and Ubby Ræverøgel (430 m away).
