Therfield Heath (Barrow / Cairn Cemetery)

Internet Archive


From the Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of London, v3 (1856) - strange sounding barrow-like and subterranean excavations up on Therfield Heath. In all likelihood not as old as the barrows? - although flint tools were found in one, interestingly. But maybe inspired by them and their location?

Denmark (Country)

Kulturarv.dk - Fund Og Fortisminder


The Sites and Monuments Records for Denmark.

Click 'Kort' to search by map, or 'Tekst' to type in a place name or choose a period of (pre)history. Think of the usefulness in planning your megalithically themed Danish holiday :)

For the folklore obsessive, the most exciting section is here. Yes it's in Danish. But many hours of translationy fun could await.

Benllech (Burial Chamber)

Coflein


Coflein refers to the chamber as being "discredited" but also mentions that the site is still scheduled due to its ambiguity.

Also includes a rather unhelpful aerial photo.
