Rebildhede Hellekiste
Rebildhede Hellekiste submitted by Martin_L : Scan from old silverprint showing the deep pit inside the barrow and upper parts of the largely embedded chamber. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Round barrow, diameter approximately 15m. Inside an oval pit a partly excavated burial chamber is visible. Chamber measures approximately 6m x 2,5m and is built of 5 orthostats on each long-side and 2 (N) / 3 (S) orthostats on the narrow sides.

Covered by 3 capstones. The central capstone is slightly out of place. Ante-chamber (or passage) in the South consisting of two orthostats and a small capstone. The chamber is still partly embedded into the remains of its barrow (April 1990).
