Going north on the road 26 between Horshaga and Lunden there is an ancient gallery grave on the right hand side, sign posted Hällkista 0,6 (600 metres). A dirt track leads through the forest, which becomes too boggy by car the last 200 metres. The grave is about 20 metres left of the track.

The gallery grave on the hill is about 4000 years old. It is a monument of the first farmers of the fields. These ancient farmers preferred light soils like those here. The present-day swamp may have been a shallow lake with good fishing and birds' eggs to collect.
