Hoststeine submitted by Martin_L on 12th Feb 2011. The site viewed from the West. February 2011.
Sprockhoff identified 4 orthostats and one capstone [1]. He mentioned a total number of eight preserved megaliths + fragments. The structure was already destroyed when Wächter examined it [1], [2]. Despite this damages Sprockhoff assumed the original ground-plan could be clarified by an excavation.

Ildbjerg Langdysse submitted by Martin_L on 31st May 2010. Scan from old diapositive (sorry for quality) showing the very impressive site from the NE. The capstone of the southern chamber is clearly visible. The northern chamber is to the right of it, but less obvious as the capstone is robbed. As at similar sites the kerb-stones of the narrow sides are significantly larger. June 1992

Log Text: Very well preserved. However, this can only be achieved if the field is not currently being planted. Otherwise a really impressively well-preserved long barrow.
