Munkebo Jættestuer (Passage Graves)


Munkebo, Denmark (DK)
Located in Munkebo on the Danish island of Funen are a series of Neolithic burial sites - one long barrow, one dolmen and two passage graves. The graves are all preserved today and protected under the law.

The long barrow has only has the dolmen standing as the edge stones that surrounded it are no longer there and the mound that covered the burial chamber has been largely destroyed exposing the dolmen.

Both passage graves remain in good condition. Both mounds and all capstones have been removed now exposing the two chambers. Both passage graves are enterable with their chambers now greatly exposed.

The dolmen is also in good condition as the capstone still stands upon the support stones. The mound that buried the chamber no longer exists.
