Kirke Sonnerup Jættestue (Passage Grave)
Kirke Såby, Denmark (DK)
Kirke Sonnerup Jættestue is a passage grave dating back to the Neolithic era located on the Danish island of Zealand. The tomb sits on a small piece of land under a big tree and is located out in a field. The tomb is heavily damaged as only five stones remain of the passage while the massive stones used for the capstones of the chamber are still in place but the majority have fallen into the chamber. The eastern end of the tomb has a small cist (stone coffin) from the Bronze Age covered by nine small capstones.
