Rishøj Jættestue (Passage Grave)

Osted, Denmark (DK)

All three passages and chambers are still partially buried and are therefore not enterable. The large capstones covering the passages and chambers are visible from the ground as the top of the mound has been destroyed by ploughing and erosion throughout the years and now greatly exposing the capstones.

Note: even though the site megalith.co.uk has this site listed as a long barrow it is, in fact, a passage grave.

Rishøj Jættestue is a passage grave dating back to the Neolithic era located on the Danish island of Zealand. The tomb sits on a tall piece of land in the middle of a field. The tomb is the rarest type of Neolithic construction in Denmark as it is a passage grave with three passages leading into three separate burial chambers - only about 10 types of this tomb remain in Denmark today.

All three passages and chambers are still partially buried and are therefore not enterable. The large capstones covering the passages and chambers are visible from the ground as the top of the mound has been destroyed by ploughing and erosion throughout the years and now greatly exposing the capstones.
