Kornerup Jættestue (Passage Grave)


Lejre, Denmark (DK)
Kornerup Jættestue is a passage grave dating back to the Neolithic era located near the small town of Lejre on the Danish island of Zealand. Even though the megalithic website has it under "Runddysse" which is the Danish word for "Round Barrow" it is, in fact, a passage grave. The grave is located in a field behind a farm. The passage grave is a rare type as it has a small side chamber behind the main chamber. The mound is still largely there, but the top of it has been ploughed away and the capstones covering the passage and chambers are gone. A passage leading into the main chamber is still clearly visible.
