Barrow Cemetery in Halland. Högaberg, near Grimeton kyrkby (church village) is one of Halland's best-preserved cemeteries. The total number of graves is around 80. The southern part is dominated by the well-to-do population and its barrows.

In the northern part the graves are more modest. The dividing line between the two groups is an early hollow road which may have linked this site to the nearby cemetery at Broåsen, two kilometres to the west. The Högaberg cemetery goes back to the Early Iron Age, 500 BCE - 500 CE.
