The stone row at Myrhøj (Danish Stenrække ved Myrhøj) is located on Løgstørvej by Aars in western Himmerland, near Ertebølle not far from the Limfjord in Denmark. The 70 m long Bronze Age (1800 BC to 500 BC) stone line starting at the edge of the hill is now the only ancient monument at Myrhøj and the longest of the few surviving stone lines in the north. Only 9 of the 29 stones were in situ, the rest were re-erected. The area is known for the first Danish evidence of the Bell Beaker culture from the Stone Age (2500-2000 BC) in the form of a settlement with remains of houses. Among the finds was a slate armguard. A burial mound from the Bronze Age and a cairn from the Iron Age were discovered and preserved southeast of Myrhøj as early as 1952, while the stone circle around the burial mound ended with a bowl stone with 54 little bowls. The same applies to a stone with five bowls and two small stones from the row.
