Lindeskov Dolmen (2) (Jættestue) — Fieldnotes |
|
Visited 2 April 2006 We couldn't spot this one - is it destroyed? If not, I would have thought it would have been visible from the nearest roads.... We weren't able to enter the field for a poke around though, so we may have missed something! |

Marhøj — Fieldnotes |
|
At the north east tip of Fyn is a little promentary on which can be found Marhøj (TME page 158), a particularly thrilling giant barrow. In a landscape shared by other fat, high, humpy høj, Marhøj is Queen. Wading through the dark earth of the field littered with flints, we reached the monument and found the entrance to the passageway leading in is half way up the mound, rather than at ground level. Stooping very low (if you're tall this is almost a hands-and-knees-job) I squeezed down the 5 metre passage flanked with big flat stones to reach the main chamber which runs perpendicular to it. The main passage was darker than dark. I got out the torch but it was unable to penetrate the blackness at all. I found a bit of candle and lit it. Then I found a tealight and lit that. And another and another and another until the whole chamber, 10ms long was illuminated by 26 tealights. It looked very hygge. I sat down on the damp earth to inspect the chamber, smoke a cig and have a cuppa. It was vast: seven massive capstones formed the roof, all glistening in with wet in the candlelight making it as cosy as a fairy grotto. Moth scampered around with the tripod taking pictures and collecting more than 25 used tealights. It was cold in there – my breath was condensing - but it was out of the rain and the icy wind. It was fab. |

Lindeskov Dyssekammer 5 — Fieldnotes |
|
Visited 2 April 2006 We don't have any photos of this, as the only thing we found was a mess and unphotographable under the shadows of the trees. But I'm not sure it was the dyssekammer anyway! |
