abstract = "The archaeological interest in the Viking-Age monuments at Jelling can be traced back to the discovery of the burial chamber in the North Mound in 1820. Given the monumental nature of the burial and the other surviving memorials, it seemed obvious that there must have been an equally impressive royal residence in the area. This assumption was supported by the reference to {\textquoteleft}the royal estate at Jelling{\textquoteright} in Sven Aggesen{\textquoteright}s chronicle from around 1185. After the extensive excavations in the 1940s, Ejnar Dyggve believed that a residence should be looked for to the east of the monuments, where the later Fogedg{\aa}rden (the Bailiff{\textquoteright}s farm), was located. This could not be proven at the time, however, and it was only when the huge rhomboid palisade surrounding the monument area was discovered, that the idea of the royal estate acquired a more solid foundation.",
