Langdysse (Long Barrow) in Sønderborg

In 1991 the Haderslev Museum started an excavation of a portion
of the site, located south of the fence to the neighboring field.

The study revealed a well-preserved early neolithic long barrow
with a dolmen chamber at the west end.
On top of the long barrow a bronze age burial (period II) was found.
A round barrow was erected over this tomb which encircled most
of the long mound, except the long barrows western end,
which was removed on that occasion.
Round barrow was at a time (per. II-III) expanded with particular
an outlying stone chain of very large stones. There is no evidence
of a burial facility central to the expansion, but a rich woman's grave
from per. III was buried in the northwest side of the extended barrow.
The grave contained spiral earrings gold, neck bracelets and ankle rings of bronze,
bronze spirals, spiral plates, belt canned tutulus, spiral beads of
gold and a blue glass bead. In the east side of the hill was an urn grave
without equipment dating y. bronze age.
After investigation, the site was partially reconstructed.
