Bolmer's högar consist of two large tumuli on Söderslätt from the Early Bronze Age (ca. 1300 BC) located in the parish of Mellan-Grevie socken in Skåne. They are located on one of the highest points in Vellinge municipality between Vellinge and Östra Grevie and are respectively 26 and 25 meters in diameter and 4.5 and 4 meters respectively high.
The two graves are the northernmost part of an extensive archaeological area, Steglarp's burial ground, which includes twelve tumuli from the Bronze Age. Other tumuli are slightly smaller, around 15-20 meters in diameter, and are located in Fuglie parish (Trelleborg municipality). The Steglarp burial ground is one of the Nordic countries' absolute largest preserved tumuli complexes from the Bronze Age. As the tumuli are very close together, a peculiar environmental picture of the Nordic Bronze Age is given here. An ancient dirt road still runs through the entire area.
From the tumuli you can see 20 church towers. The area is protected according to the Cultural Heritage Act.
