Rynkebjerg Megalithic Graves

Rynkebjerg Megalithic Graves
Ørslev, Denmark (DK)
Just south of the village of Ørslev on the Danish island of Zealand are the remains of a Neolithic long barrow and passage grave. The megalithic graves are both sitting in the same field beside each other. The long barrow is in very good condition as the stones surrounded the edge of the barrow still remain together with the lower part of the mound it sat on. Behind the long barrow are the remains of a passage grave. The mound has been damaged due to ploughing but some of the stones of the chamber still remain and are exposed. The site is easy to access and has information boards at the location. The site is a registered historical monument and protected.

The graves are thought to have been constructed between 3950 BC - 2801 BC.
