Langdysse (Long Barrow) in Frederiksborg. The burial mound was excavated in 1855 as the archaeology interested King Frederik 7. During the excavation it was discovered that the cover stones could be moved, resulting in the passage grave's name. (Rocking stone - I think? - MegP Ed)

Gravhøjen blev udgravet i 1855, af den arkæologi interesserede kong Frederik 7. Under udgravningen opdagede man at den store dæksten kunne rokkes, deraf langdyssens navn.

    Hello Torben, thanks for the lovely video. Do I have the translation right of the site name here:

    During the excavation it was discovered that the cover stones could be moved, resulting in the passage grave's name. (Rocking stone - I think? - MegP Ed)
