Round Barrow and a boulder on the island of Møn

Lillehøj is the central portion of a partially destroyed, now protected, burial mound from the Bronze Age (1700-500 BCE). Although there were originally three mounds here in the east of Stege Nor, the other two were completely levelled prior to 1860, when the National Museum first registered the site. It was reported in 1860 that a stone coffin was visible atop the hill.

On the slope to the west of the hill, you can also
see a granite boulder with a height of 3.5 m, a circumference of 12 m and weighing around 70 tonnes, which was “shipped” by glaciers from Sweden to Møn during the last ice age.

The area was also the site of a rare find of an imported product from the early Iron Age (around 200 BCE). The “Keldby Bucket’, a bronze vessel from Greece, originally functioned as a wine holder and was discovered in a field to the northwest of here in 1826. The “Keldby Bucket’ is depicted on the 500 DKK banknote.
