Glanshammar
Glanshammar submitted by cereus : I sent this image to Rendorosity: "Our God's name was Ull. He was a god of goodness, peace and fertility. There were no wars and nobody threatened an other man. Before him we had the goddess Skädja. And after Ull we had Frö. They were all good and we lived in peace. But times did change. We had Odin and we had Tor. They were warriors and took us to war.

Three burial mounds, three stone settings and a ship tumulus with nine erected stones.

Additional information supplied by Drew Parsons in September 2011: This site comprises three burial mounds, three stone settings and a ship tumulus with nine erected stones. The site dates from 400 AD through to 1050 AD. In 1937 the ship tumulus was partially excavated and what appeared to tbe the remains from two burials were uncovered. The site is located on the east side of the road which runs north from Glanshammar village towards Torphälla hamlet just as you leave Glansdhammar village. 100 metres further north on the west side of the same road there is a continuation of the site with more mounds.
