However, despite this somewhat off putting description I found this Langeland site to have a pleasant aspect and atmosphere and was glad to have visited it. The 1933 excavations revealed a dozen skulls, 4 flint spears, amber, potsherds and a flint dagger. The main finds were dated from the Funnel Beaker Period although some early iron age cremation material was also unearthed.
To reach the site drive south on highway 305 from Rudkøbing to Tryggelev. Turn west on Kinderballevej to Kinderballe village. Then turn south and join Ormstrupvej to continue south for approximately 250 metres past the village when the site should appear in a field to the west of the road. You need to cross a small strip of field to reach the site. In late September 2009 the fields were ploughed and access was easy, the local farmer waving in a friendly manner to me as he ploughed near the site.
