Langdysse (Long Barrow) in Haderslev

Long Barrow, 52.50 m l in NE-SW, 11 m wide.
Earth mound from 1.75 to 2.25 m high.
Midst of this a hole, the chamber has been robbed.
Of chambers seen a side stone towards W, 1.50 m x 0.50 m, partial
covered with soil, and a burst stump. 6 kerb stones, partly bursted,
at the west side, 4 against south, 2 against north.

Part of the impressive Vedsted 'Femhøje' complex.
('Femhøje' = Five Hills / Barrows)
A Round Barrow with almost complete kerb stones, three Long Barrows;
one of these with a lot of still visible kerb stones and an astounding length of
115 meters, a beautiful and well preserved passage grave, plus one of those
danish 'Jættestue' that you can explore from inside the chamber.
