Stenvad 50 Kroner Dysse
Date Added: 27th Sep 2022
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: Denmark (Midtjylland)
Visited: Yes on 24th Sep 2022. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 4
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.

Log Text: Totally in love with this site as the ambiance is so beautiful. If it hadn't been so windy, I would definitely have stayed longer. The grave is well preserved as a dolmen, although the tumulus can still be seen to some extent.

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.
