This is a quite interesting mound with more than one function. It was not only a burial chamber but was also used for more magical purposes.
Besides its gigantic cover-stone over the big octagonal chamber, it has about 200 cup-shaped holes scooped out on the cover-stone of the entrance. These holes are believed to be sacred magical signs in a fertility-cult active in the Bronze Age.
"Sømarkedyssen" is situated near Magleby on the eastern part of Møn.
