Description Megalitgrav (Burial Chamber) near Odense (Fyn)

North of Otterup (Fyn), in a small forest near Norup.
There are four big Round Barrows in this forest, one of them containing
the remains of a burial chamber.
Round Barrows size 3 x 18m.
It is said to have been excavated ca. 1832.
The chamber is build of six carrying stones plus two big capstones.
In 1984 only those capstones and one of the uprights remained visible.
The area is a jungle, lots of trees and bushes.
Near the tomb we see a marker stone with inscription.
