Abstract
In 1992 a well-preserved round dolmen covered by a Bronze Age burial mound was excavated at the village of Tarup between Vejle and Fredericia in East Jutland. The chamber can be classified as a dolmen without passage, but with access by a threshold construction. It contained no primary burial, but an undisturbed floor that may be the original. The mound seems to have been constructed in two stages, and the kerbstones may have been free-standing for some time before they were incorporated in the mound. The mound construction was accompanied by firings on the unfinished mound. A quantitatively modest ceramic material from MNA I and perhaps late EN was deposited in front and on top of the finished mound construction. The chamber and the mound of the dolmen were used for secondary burials in the Single Grave Culture, the Late Neolithic and the Early Bronze Age.
