Videdysse (Roskilde)
The Langdysse Videdysse is located between Radhuse and Birkede near Roskilde on the Danish island of Zealand . The dolmen dates from the Neolithic around 3500–2800 BC. And is a megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK). There are several facilities with this name on Zealand (e.g. Søster-Svenstrup Videdysse and Videdysse in Horserød Hegn ).
The north-west-south-east oriented megalithic bed is about 2.0 m high, 33.0 m long and 8.4 m wide. In the middle is the deepened chamber of a primeval dolmen as a parallel or lengthways bed. It consists of three bearing stones and the chunky capstone and has an open side with smaller stones in the southeast. Of the roughly half-preserved curbs of the hillside, 17 are on the northeast, seven on the southwest and two on the southeast; none on the northwest side. Other relocated stones are near the barren bed or on the hill.
