Jættestue (Passage Grave) in Haderslev

Along the road just a little kilometers north of Over Jerstal is a nice collection
of large stone tombs from the Neolithic period. At the small size protected and
publicly accessible land with associated P-space out to the highway, you can find
two Jættestue and a burial mound with a ruined chamber.

Round Barrow, 1.75 m - 2,20 m tall, 17-18 m diameter, shape is somewhat
vague and not easy to determine. Top flattened and the surface uneven.
Mound encloses a stone grave, from east a 5.60 m long passage.

Chamber of irregular shape, 4 m long of NE-SW, 2.25 m wide in the middle,
narrower at the ends, 1.60 m high formed of nine stones
(in NW 3, in SE four of which the second of N is somewhat shifted,
and one for each end), two capstones in its place.
Passage to the SSE, 3 m llong 0.50 m wide, height 1.10 m;
formed of three pair of stones and with a capstone in place..
