Klekkende Høj

Klekkende Hoj is a Neolithic passage grave on the island of Mon in Denmark, dating to approximately 3300-3200 BCE. It is the only double-passage tomb found on Mon, featuring two burial chambers side by side with separate entrances, each reached by passages about 7 metres long. The tomb was excavated in 1797 by Antoine de Bosc de la Calmette, governor of the island. Fifteen men worked for a week to uncover human remains, flint weapons, clay vessels, and amber jewellery. It is one of the best preserved of over 100 burial mounds on the island.
