Øm Jættestue (Passage Grave) #2

Øm Jættestue (Passage Grave) #2
Lejre, Denmark (DK)
Located between the villages of Lejre and Øm just south of Roskilde on the Danish island Zealand stands a passage grave dating back to the Neolithic era.

Today the sight is visible but sits in a private field. The mound has been completely removed due to ploughing and erosion and now the stones that formed the chamber are visible. The site is less than 1 km from another passage grave which is impressively preserved and one of the best preserved in the country.
