Stone Circle in Hovedstaden

Located on the former ocean floor during the prehistoric periods of the Stone Age and Bronze are the remains of a form of stone setting. The site is officially listed as a stone setting from possibly the Iron Age. A circle of 13 stones are seen on a natural sandbank. The sandbank measures about 1,5 metres in height with the diameter of the circle being about 5,5 metres.
