The Tombs of Snæbum are three neighboring megalithic tombs west of Hobro in Jutland. Two of the three are well-preserved or restored passage graves. They come from the Neolithic period about 3500-2800 BC. And are megalithic installations of funnel beaker culture. The passage grave is a type of Neolithic megalithic plants, which consists of a chamber and a structurally offset, lateral corridor. This form is found primarily in Denmark, Germany and Scandinavia, as well as occasionally in France and the Netherlands. Neolithic monuments are an expression of the culture and ideology of Neolithic societies. Their formation and function are considered indicators of social development. The Spanskhoj mound is about 22 m in diameter, is over four meters high and contains two passage graves. The two separate (not as often assembled) in the hill lying about four meters long chambers are oval and are accessed by a long narrow corridor. Snibhøj was excavated in 1895 by Georg Sarauw and restored in 1930 and 1999, is located 500 m from the village of Hannerup and has tourist access (brochure, entrance, parking). Access is from Østergård farm. It is 6.5 m unusually high and steep hill contains two unconnected small passage graves as a double gangway grave. The south chamber The polygonal or nearly round southern chamber resembles in plan the passage grave of Thusbjerg on Mors. It has seven support stones and two capstones. The shape is highly unusual for a passage grave and the plant resembles a polygon dole except for the second capstone. The excavation showed that the site had not been entered by humans since the Neolithic . The scattered bones and the offerings in the 15 to 20 cm thick layer of the chamber were apparently disheveled by animals. The skeletons came from 50 people, of whom 18 were children between the ages of 6 months and 16 years. G. Sarauw was astonished that the chamber was not centrally located in the mound, and already in 1896 the second access was discovered. The north chamber The northern chamber was dug up by A.P. Madsen. The chamber has an irregular oval floor plan and eight supporting stones and three capstones. He found in the chamber a paved floor with several skeletons, two of which stretched out in the middle of the chamber, while the other bones, a piece of amber, flint, and tattered pottery lay on the walls Hannerup Jættestue The Hannerup Jættestue (also called Østergård Jættestue) is the third facility, about 50 meters from Snibhøj. There is hardly any data about them
