Udsholt Strand Hellekiste is a cist (stone coffin) from the late Neolithic located near the town of Gilleleje on the Danish island of Zealand. The cist sits in the middle of a summer house area. The cist is still partially buried in a small mound that would have surrounded it. However, the site is very overgrown and neglected making the capstones of the cist only visible when one removes branches and leaves. Three of the kerbstones that would have surrounded thr edge of the mound remain at the site too.
