During the Iron Age most people in Halland lived on isolated farms. Each farm had a family cemetery. The cemetery at Källekullen is a typical farm cemetery with three different forms of grave (stone settings, stone circles, and standing stones).

The standing stones are the remains of a larger stone ship.
