Signes Høj (Elmehøj) is a significant Danish round burial mound located in Ringsted Municipality, Denmark. It is dated to bronzeage. The mound was protected before 1937, having been explicitly made legally protected by Sorø Akademi in 1854 through a deed reservation.
Physically, Signes Høj is described as approximately 3 meters high and 23 meters in diameter in several surveys. Earlier accounts from 1877 noted it as about 65 feet in diameter and 12-14 feet high. A distinctive feature is a flat depression at its top, measuring 3 meters in diameter and 0.5 meters deep, along with flat excavations on its south and east sides. The foot of the mound is also excavated, forming a 1-meter high brink. A marking stone on the mound was noted as broken in 1924 and replaced in 1925.
Signes Høj (Elmehøj) is consistently described as a beautiful and well-preserved mound, with a great location. It lies on the edge of a moraine near Tuel Å, in an area rich with other well-preserved ancient monuments, making it a notable landmark in an open landscape.
The mound has been subject to numerous inspections and surveys by various national and local museums and authorities, including the National Museum, Skov- og Naturstyrelsen, Roskilde Museum, and Kulturstyrelsen, spanning from 1877 to 2015.
The mound is also linked to the ancient legend of Hagbard and Signe, whose forbidden love led to their deaths.
The mound is located in a private field where there is no public access, so the mound must be viewed from a distance from Skælskørvej or Alstedvej.
