Smålandsstenar
Smålandsstenar submitted by Bjorn : Smålandsstenar (Vote or comment on this photo)
These grave monuments from the first centuries CE have given the town Smålandsstenar (the Stones of Småland) its name.

The five standing stone circles were brought to public attention in the early 19th century and were fancifully thought to mark the judicial meeting place of a large part of south-western Sweden in times past. There is no historical backing for the idea.

It is sign posted as Gravfält from the main road (26).
