Mastehøj (Burial Mound)

Mastehøj (Burial Mound)
Roskilde, Denmark (DK)
Mastehøj is an ancient burial mound dating either from the Stone Age or Bronze Age. The mound sits in a field on the northern outskirts of Roskilde, Denmark. The mound is open to the public and is an easy to access site. The top of the mound has been damaged and a medium sized depression on the top of the mound where a possible stone burial chamber or some form of stone coffin would have been. Two small stones are found within the depression.

Small stones are seen placed around the edge of the mound. A couple of bigger stones are seen about 2 metres to the north of the mound and these could have been used to form a now destroyed burial chamber placed within the mound where the depression is today.
