Stonehenge. submitted by dodomad on 11th May 2022. Much of the project research & excavation was on National Trust land. "The discovery of the largest known Early Mesolithic pit in NW Europe shows that this was a special place for communities 1000s of years before the first stones were erected."

Stenvad 50 Kroner Dysse submitted by Martin_L on 8th Apr 2008. The northeastern chamber is quite picturesque.
It is one of Denmarks most famous megalithic tombs: It even was depicted on the 50 kroner-banknote. Some barrow kerbstones are also visible on this picture [April 1992]. Scan from old diapositive, sorry for bad quality.

Visited: Yes on 7th Mar 2021. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 3
Steinhügelgrab im Ummel submitted by CharcoalBurner89 on 7th Mar 2021. Today the stone circle is barely visible due to the overgrowth of moss and the accumulation of leaves from the surrounding forest.
From the information board on site:
The stone ring marks the original end of the tumlus and is barely recognizable today because of the earth that has flowed down. Most of the tree coffins have passed away in the sandy soil. Only the shore stones and the soil discoloration still show their location. In the older and middle Bronze Age (approx. 1600 to 1200 BC)...

Only the shore stones and the soil discoloration still show their location. In the older and middle Bronze Age (approx. 1600 to 1200 BC) the dead were buried in coffins made from hollowed-out tree trunks. There were often several graves in the great hills. The rare bronze grave goods were excavated as early as the 19th century. The finds are in the State Museum of Lower Saxony in Hanover.

Steinfeld Steingrab 2 submitted by AlexHunger on 1st May 2006. This relatively compact Alee Couverte consists of 8 uprights while 2 out of 3 cap stones survive. A fragment of the 3rd lies just beside the tomb. Archeologists presume the former tumulus was surrounded by kerbstones.
The site has been restored since Sprockhoff's survey in the 1930s.

Log Text: From the information board on site:
From 2700 to 2000 BC the stone graves served our oldest farmers as crypts.
The huge boulders could be moved and lifted by a few people with lever bars and rollers. The transport was best done on hard frozen ground. The capstones are hewn on the sides so that they could form a closed ceiling. There were gaps between the side stones. From this it can be seen that the cap stones were first brought into their final position on a mound of earth or wooden scaffolding and the side stones were fitted individually underneath. For this purpose, the gaps between the supporting stones were required as space for movement. All holes and gaps were wedged with rubble stones and sealed from the outside with clay. The whole complex has had a round mound over it.
