Hagbardsholmen Island burial field
Hagbardsholmen Island burial field submitted by kenntha88 : A medium-sized but pretty standing stone (about 1.30meters tall) placed on top of one of the flat graves. (Vote or comment on this photo)
This burial site consists of about 10 small mounds, about 20 flat ground burrows without any markings at all, 2 low stone rings and two square-shaped stone settings. there is also one standing stone (about 1.20m tall) on top of a flat grave.

Even if some of the graves dont look impressive, a lot of grave-goods have been found, especially one of an old woman had a impressive amount of grave goods. Another grave consisted of a man`s skeleton, but the only goods was a huge and strange iron collar.

A very interesting site, with many different burial techniques and a nice view of the sea and a lot of small Islands.
