This passage grave, Tolarpsgraven, is the biggest megalithic grave in southern Halland and is almost 5000 years old. Originally the grave was covered by a mound, but over the centuries weather and wind have uncovered the grave. The chamber measures 2.5 x 6.5 metres and the passage is 4.5 metres long.

Many people were buried in the grave. The grave goods accompanying the deceased were amber ornaments. Several of the ornaments were imitations of the ceremonial axes of the time. Outside the grave were a large number of pots, which were probably used during grave ceremonies and ritual offerings.

The grave is about seven kilometres east of Halmstad city. From Halmstad drive towards Växjö on road 25, turn right for Årnarp, then follow a sign to Mästocka and you will see the signpost (Gånggrift). The grave is about 150 metres from the road, on the edge of the forest.

Nearby (further east and well signposted) are the beautiful Tolarpsfallen, a nature reserve with a gentle rocky waterfall.
