Lindsbjerg Megalithic Tombs

Lindsbjerg Megalithic Tombs
Ærøskøbing, Denmark (DK)
Located on the Danish island of Ærø near the town of Dunlær are two megalithic tombs dating from the Neolithic. At the site are the remains of one long barrow and one passage grave. The tombs are located in a small field with a farm track from the main road leading up to them.

The shape of the long barrow is still clearly visible. A few of the kerbstones that surround the edge of the mound are visible. Two burial chambers (dolmen) are also visible within the barrow. The eastern dolmen consists of nine support stones, one capstone and four stones that formed a small passage. The western chamber consists of no support stones with three fallen capstones.
