Rispebjerg

Located 7 km west of Snogebæk on the road to Pedersker, it contains both the remains of a Neolithic sun temple and Iron Age earthworks.

[1] Bordered by the Øleådalen valley, the site is marked by Iron Age earthworks consisting of semicircular ramparts 3 metres (9.8 ft) high and a dry ditch 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) deep, dating back some 2,000 years.

There are also remains of a number of 5,000-year-old woodhenges, one of which has been recreated with stumps of wood in the original holes, giving an impression of the size of the ancient site.

Traces of the original wooden poles have been found and recently marked out with stumps of wood.

They apparently supported a clay-covered platform, accessed by a flight of steps, on which experts believe fires could have been lit, possibly for sacrifices.
