This Bronze Age cairn is typical of many in Sweden and is one of the largest in Västergötland measuring some 29 metres in diameter and 3.5 metres in height. The top is somewhat level with what may be three pits in evidence. The stones used to build it are between 0.1 and 0.3 metres in size. There is a low brim around the perimeter of the mound. To reach the site drive north from Skövda to the village of Horn. Drive north past the church and 2.5 kilometres after the church and just before a T junction the cairn is on the north (right) side of the road, right by the road. You could drive directly to the T junction from Skövda but this route gives you landmarks. Reference: Riksantikvarieämbetet Fornsök: Odensåker 19:1.
