and last one for this trip, the Eskilstorpsdösen just by a large coastal marsh within view of the Øresund Bridge

#TombTuesday
🧵

Didn't get time for a closer look at it, but just a couple 100 yards away was a rather large barrow just on the edge of the fields

We were then heading further east to some other sites, but on our return, this is the Klockaredösen

#TombTuesday
🧵

Unsurprisngly, aside from all the exposed Dolmens, the landscape was filled with barrows and bumps such as this nicely formed barrow just by the roadside

Next, and just a short way on the other side of the village
...I'd be hard pushed to pronounce Snarringe Dubbelgånggrift but you can see the 'double' part in the title there as its a pair of monuments just a few yards apart

🧵

First for our trip, the Skegriedösen, just outside the village of Skegrie & scarcely 2km from the coast
A gentle mound with a central dolmen & 17 surrounding kerb stones

A peaceful afternoon spent at Bryn Celli Ddu Anglesey #tombTuesday

While we only got ~10 hours in Sweden a lot of that was chasing Dolmens, so here's a few in a 🧵👇

Down into the bowels of Taversöe Tuick... A Neolithic chambered tomb on the island of Rousay, Orkney
#TombTuesday

It's an unusual chambered tomb though as it's double tiered - meaning it has two chambers, one on top of the other

It's not clear why it was built like this 🤔

Nicht mehr ganz so lang und man kann wieder die vielen Lichter an Allerheiligen auf den Friedhöfen sehen 😊

Erschreckend, dass das Jahr schon wieder so fortgeschritten ist. #TombTuesday

Presaddfed Chambered Tomb #TombTuesday

#TombTuesday has arrived and here's a fine 'local' barrow - Stand Low, near Kniveton. A partial excavation of one of the barrows in 1869 recovered #BronzeAge finds including a pottery urn, an amber ring, a perforated stone axe and a bronze 3-rivetted dagger with an ivory pommel. #Derbyshire 📷 own.

The allée couverte of Keravel in Roscoff (Finistère) was over 20m long with a 3.5m long lateral entrance passage. By early C20 sections had been robbed and early descriptions saw it as 3 separate dolmens. In 1943 these remains were completely destroyed. #TombTuesday.

The Tymbos of #Marathon is a vaulted tomb where the 192 #Athenian soldiers who died at the #battle were buried. The burial monument, also known as the “Soros”, is the reminder of the epic victory of the #Greek forces against the “unbeatable” #Persians. #History
