Cleckende-Höy ( Dates. Klekkende Høj ) is a megalithic tomb inside a bulk mound on the Danish island of Myon .

Dated around 2500 BC. er Along with this mound, there are about 100 mounds on the island, most of which have survived much worse. By design, Kleckende-Heuy is a corridor tomb, while it is unusual that in this mound there is not one, but two parallel entrance corridors.

In 1797, Antoine de Bosque de la Calmette, the governor of the island , excavated the mound. Inside the mound, a large number of human remains, flint tools, ceramics and amber decorations were found. The finds were transferred to the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen, after which the entrance to the tomb was again closed.

Currently, the entrances to the tomb are again open to the public. In 1987, the southern chamber was restored, and in 2002 - the northern chamber, and electric lighting was also carried out.
