(_ante_). Mr. W.G. Black speaks of it thus:--

"There is some confusion as to King Finn's dwelling. As doctors
differ, we may be allowed to claim that it was the Denghoog, close
to Wenningstedt, if only because we descended into that remarkable
dwelling. Externally merely a swelling green mound, like so many
others in Sylt, entrance is gained by a trap-door in the roof, and
decending a steep ladder, one finds himself in a subterranean
chamber, some seventeen by ten feet in size, the walls of which are
twelve huge blocks of Swedish granite; the height of the roof
varies from five feet to six feet. The original entrance appears to
have been a long narrow passage, seventeen feet long and about two
feet wide and high. This mound was examined by a Hamburg professor
in 1868, who found remains of a fireplace, bones of a small man,
some clay urns, and stone weapons. Later, a Kiel professor is said
to have carried off all he found therein to Kiel Museum, and so far
we have not been able to trace the published accounts of his
investigations."[93]

Mr. Christian Jensen, Oevenum, Foehr, to whom I am indebted for these
three views, has favoured me with the following information:--

"The sketches of the Denhoog which I enclose [viz., the Ground Plan
and Sectional View] are from the drawings of Professor Wibel, who
conducted the excavation of it in 1868. From his and C.P. Hansen's
observations I contribute the following statements: Originally, the
mound was higher, but in 1868 it had the form of a truncated cone,
4-1/2 _metres_ [say 14 feet 9 inches] in height. As may be seen from
the picture, it slopes away to the south above the original passage
into the mound, which the dweller made use of as his entrance; so
that the extent is very considerable. The present entrance, as may
be seen from the view of the interior, was made from above, at the
north side, directly opposite the original entrance.... Dr. Wibel
says: 'At the south side of the chamber is the doorway for ingress
and egress, with the passage itself leading from it. This passage,
which was 6 _metres_ [19 feet 8 inches] in length, was lined with
upright blocks of granite and gneiss, with a roofing and floor made
of flagstones of the same kinds of stone. It was opened up all the
way to the mouth of the pa
