Cairn in Halland
The site contains a cairn and a standing stone in a monumental position and with panoramic views. The cairn which was probably created in the Bronze Age (1500-500BC), measures 35 metres in diameter and 3.5 metres height. The grave has damage caused by grave plunderers in the past. South of the cairn is a standing stone which is 3.4 metres tall. It was probably erected in the Iron Age. Just west of the cairn are the remains of a stone circle with a diameter of 7 metres.
