Ubby Grønnehøj

The Ubby Grønnehøj is 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 .

The well-preserved passage grave is located in a large hill. The chamber consists of nine bearing stones and three cap stones. The corridor is formed by nine preserved supporting stones. Its only surviving capstone is at the entrance to the chamber. Three stones protrude from the hill. Some curbs of the hill can be seen in the west and south.

Nearby are the passage graves Ubby 1 (65 m away), Ubby 2 (315 m away) and Ubby Ræverøgel (430 m away).
