The burial ground contains 55 burial mounds and 20 standing stones. The largest mounds are about 12 meters in diameter and 1.5 meters high. Some mounds have a central pit or rim channel, and five are oval in shape. The burial ground at Replösa has many similarities to the Kånna burial mounds and both burial grounds date from the same period, the late Iron Age (400–1050 AD).
About 400 meters south of the runestone is another burial ground consisting of 20 burial mounds, the largest of which is 1.7 meters high. There are also traces of settlement (agricultural use and construction) from the Iron Age in this area.
