Åstrup Deelhøj Jættestue
Åstrup Deelhøj Jættestue submitted by holger_rix : Inside the chamber. Unfortunately we had forgotten to bring a torch, so it was kinda spooky to crawl inside passing myriads of insects. The drywalling is in a fantastic state. There was no restauration made on this tomb. It was discovered in 1880 and only the mound has been put into a better shape since then. A pretty wet place as well... (Vote or comment on this photo)
Jættestue (Passage Grave) in Vejle

A Round Barrow 3.5 meters tall and 16 to 18 m in diameter.
To the east is a piece of the rim dug away.
A small passage leads into a Burial Chamber.
The chamber is build with 8 carrying stones covered by a capstone,
and it is 1.7 m high, 2.7 meters wide and 3.1 m long.
Between the carrying stones are drywalls of flat stones.
The passage into the chamber is ESE-NNW oriented and has two threshold stones.
The upper part is closed by flat stone slabs.

The site is hidden under trees but the entrance filled by a badger living in there. The local authorities are advised but didn't react so far. The nearby inhabitants fear that the chamber could crash.
