I have visited· I would like to visit

praeceptor visited on 4th Mar 2011 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 5 The original coordinates points to the middle of a bush where nothing interesting is found. On a tiny triangular lawn some 30 meters away an interesting stoneaarangement is found that fits the descriptions. However, it looks to me as if something once was carved into the stones, but now it's too washed out to be read by me. It also looks to me as if some of the stones has cupmarks or rectangular shaped marks that apparently marks positions of perhaps some stars - or is it just me that is imagine things that isn't there ?

I'm surprised that nothing is mentioned about cupmarks and or engravings in the stones.

1938 museum inspection
National Museum, Danish Department., Danish Prehistory
Burial chamber formed by 4 Carrying stones forming an elongated chamber, 1.05 x 0.5 m. [[After the Board's order protected in 10 m circumference. 442/54]].

1988 New inspection of protected sites
Forest and Nature Agency, 10 office
Beautiful example of an early dolmen chamber of rectangular type. Situated on the lower triangular lawn, bounded on the north toward the small garden colony and a gravel road and a groomed beech heck and against SE and SV a steep excavated slope to an industrial area behind a discrete fence. In the corner of the very well-kept lawn a bench in front of the cairn. Exemplary. Gravel road leads right past. A sign on dyssens presence, arranged by gravel road estuary Gladsaxe Møllevej in the corner of HT's terminal area would be desirable. ** Attraction ** Explanation as a type example very scenic, especially considering that dolmens are rare in urban areas. Vegetation: 1988: Grass

Try and check position 55.736417N 12.473350E and also try and check it in StreetView. You'll probably agree that what you see here correspond to the description of this burial chamber.
