**Smørumovre Bautasten** submitted by NeolithicFanatic : The two stones on the western side of the footpath. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Located in a newly built housing estate and by a public footpath are four standing stones believed to be from the Iron Age. The stones were discovered back in 2017 during an excavation before the construction of the housing estate had started. All four stones had fallen over and had been buried before being raised again, in their original positions, and cleaned up. Archaeologists also found four pits where four other stones would've stood, but those four stones have been lost sometime in the past. Today the four remaining stones now stand beside the public path.
