Skelhøj is an individual burial mound that is part of a broader series of 26 along the Kongeå River in Southern Denmark. It was likely built in one singular effort over the span of a few months. Other well preserved burial mounds from the area include , , , and Storehøj at Tobøl. Many such mounds were built across Denmark, predominantly during the Early Bronze Age (1500 to 1100 cal. BC); scholar Jørgen Jensen estimated the number at 85,000.
