This big boulder of Sekshøjstenen
is
found on a field, around 1500 meters
north-east of the village Højby. It is
part of a well preserved Megalitgrave.
As I haven't found any other name for
it, I have named it after the tomb,
which is also known as the
Højby Runddysse. The tomb was excawated
in 1825 and the chamber is open today.
The entrance is narrow, and the chamber
not that big, but surpricently high;
around 1,9 metres. On the top of the
stone is several cup markings.
Location:
Stenstrupvej 17, 4573
