Megalitgrav (Burial Chamber) in Haderslev

Partially disturbed Round Barrow. Earth mound is still 1 to 1.25 m high,
15 meters diameter. 22 kerb stones in place. Some have been removed,
but have been replaced.
In the middle was a large chamber, which is now quite covered with earth.

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 explore from inside the chamber.
