Skegrie Church Long Dolmen is a pleasant site set across the E6 / E22 main road from the church at Skegrie village in Skåne, Sweden. A mound with 15 peripheral stones and an intact south facing chamber covered by a large capstone. Cup marks also visible on the stone in the foreground here. The dolmen is right at the side of the road with a small area for parking next to the "Skegrie dösen" sign.

I used the Swedish Terrängkarten 1:50 000 map number 501 Malmö to locate the site.
