The Hulbjerg passage grave is concealed by a round barrow on the southern tip of the island of Langeland. It stems from the early Neolithic period known as the Funnelbeaker Culture. In 1960, the grave was excavated by one of Europe's leading experts in late Stone Age burials, Håkon Berg of the Langeland Museum. The walls of the 6.5 x 1.7 metre chamber consist of 13 large uprights, tightly compacted with a fine wall of hewn stone tiles. On the exterior, the chamber is sealed with clay layered with crushed flint. The ceiling originally consisted of five large slabs of rock. The floor was laid with small flat stones covered in burnt flint.
