Lindeskov Langdysse

Further north, the long barrow tradition took its own form. In Denmark and southern Sweden the long barrows typically used stone in their construction, and in the Netherlands and northern Germany they also used stone where it was available. The long barrows in parts of Poland are typically earthen rather than megalithic. They belong to the Funnel Beaker culture, and the architecture of Scandinavia and northern Germany, called Nordic megalith architecture, appeared mainly between 3500 and 2800 BCE. The full article, “Northern European long barrows (langdysser)”, follows below under About this kind of monument.

The Atlas shows 3500 BCE to 2800 BCE for this site, but that is a regional estimate for this kind of monument, not a date for this particular megalithic long barrow. No excavation, radiocarbon sample or other measurement is recorded for it, so the real age could fall anywhere within the range, or outside it.

The range rests on this regional background (source: the Wikipedia article “Nordic megalith architecture”): Danish long barrows (langhoje) belong to the Nordic megalith tradition which emerged predominantly between 3500 and 2800 BC.
