Klekkende Høj

"Høj" stems from the Old Norse word haugr (Swedish "hög"), meaning hill, mound or barrow.

Klekkende Høj is unusual in that there are two entrance passages running approximately parallel to each other, facing east.

The chambers and passages are constructed from large stones set on edge, which support capstones laid flat across their tops.

Inside were a considerable number of human remains, flint weapons, clay vessels and amber jewellery.

At that time, the northern chamber was considered to be sound, but it was later found that the capstones were in danger of slipping off their supports.
