Brudager Langdysse (Long Barrow)


Thurø By, Denmark (DK)
Brudager Langdysse is a Neolithic long barrow located in the southern part of the Danish island of Funen. The barrow is located at the edge of a field and is visible from the nearby road. When at the site, it looks like a whole pile of field stones found by the farmer that have been placed here, but it is, in fact, the remains of a large long barrow. The remains consist of several kerbstones that follow the edge of the barrow. The remains of three dolmens are also found at the site. In the southern end are two support stones and one fallen capstone from one dolmen, in the northern end are two support stones from another dolmen and the middle are two further support stones from the third dolmen. There are two rows of kerbstones: twenty stones in the inner row and sixteen remain from the outer row.
