Langdos
Langdos (or Langdysse) is the largest bronze age burial mound in Denmark, located in Thisted, Jutland.[1] The burial mound is 175 metres long and was built between 1800 and 1000 BC. The "Langdos man" (Danish: Langos manden) was once believed to live in the barrow. Around Easter, pins were placed into the mound by children who then played around it.[2]
Part of the barrow has been damaged due to building activities within the city.
