Gillhög

The passage grave features a central chamber measuring 5.7 by 2.3 meters, supported by twelve high wall stones beneath three substantial roof blocks.

Built during the middle Neolithic period, Gillhög served as a significant burial structure for the Funnelbeaker culture that inhabited southern Sweden.

The monument represents the burial methods of early Nordic societies, reflecting their architectural capabilities and understanding of ceremonial structures.

Visitors can reach the inner chamber through a 5-meter passage, while the entire structure spans 25 meters in diameter and rises 2.5 meters high.

The central roof block of the structure weighs approximately 15 tons, demonstrating the engineering abilities of prehistoric builders.
